Feature drama starring Minnie Driver as a schoolteacher intent on staging a rock opera version of 'The Tempest'. It is the summer of 1976, and Viv May (Driver) is an enthusiastic young drama teacher at a Swansea secondary school. With her diaphanous dresses and progressive attitudes, former actress Viv has her enemies amongst the school's more conservative staff, and has set her sights on creating a high-octane fusion of Shakespeare and David Bowie for this year's school performance. Between rehearsals her adolescent students pass the hot summer days lounging around the lido, fighting and falling in love, as their future beyond the safe confines of school life looms ahead of them.

Marc Evans writes and directs this drama starring the singer, Duffy, in her debut film role. When Rhys (Matthew Gravelle) is required to travel to South America to do a work assignment on Patagonia's Welsh community, his partner, Gwen (Nia Roberts), goes with him, despite the fact they are having relationship difficulties. While there, however, Gwen falls for their driver, Mateo (Matthew Rhys). At the same time, an elderly woman, Cerys (Marta Lubos), leaves Patagonia and heads to Wales where she hopes to discover her family's history. She is accompanied by her nephew, Alejandro (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart), who becomes romantically involved with local girl Sissy (Duffy).
