David just woke up on the wrong side of life. His marriage is dead and his restaurant just went belly up. Things look bad until Dave's eccentric neighbor comes to the rescue by staging sightings of an extremely rare bird. Bird watchers and hungry patrons the world over flock to the area. The hoax succeeds far beyond expectations and business booms. With the threat of exposure, and the authorities hot on their trail, feathers are bound to fly.
"...a sweetheart of a film, whimsical and touching." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
Editor's Note
Chef Dave Purcell (William Hurt) is at the end of his rope--his marriage has just ended and his restaurant is failing miserably. Luckily for Dave, his wacky, scheming neighbor and friend, Alphonse (Andy Jones), has cooked up a scheme to drum up business for his eatery. After the two men fake the sighting of a rare bird near the restaurant, hungry birdwatchers are soon lining up in droves! In the spirt of LOCAL HERO, director Sturla Gunnarsson populates this small Newfoundland town with eccentric, yet believable characters, creating a tight balance of sweetness and comedy.
