Approaching his Pearl Wedding Anniversary, retired Dudgeon finally discovers an inner romantic side and elects to learn his wife's favourite love song (Your Song by Elton John) in order to serenade her on their special day. However, the former biker and womaniser has never played the piano before and has just one week to learn the song.
Along follows a week of mayhem, as he finds himself meeting an array of somewhat unusual characters in surreal situations. Faced with the voice in his head which begins to gain an existence outside his own sub-conscious and an appointment with a brain specialist that almost sees him institutionalised, Reggie seeks the assistance of his childhood friend Bernie, who shows him a special place where time stands still in order to learn the piece in time.
But will it be enough to show his long suffering wife just how much she means to him and excuse those mistakes from the past?
Love can and does bring out the most irrational of behaviours in all of us. In a story of self discovery and destruction, inspired by the music of Elton John and designed around the self titled Elton John album of 1970 including the hit track Your Song, the boundaries of rationality become blurred within a world where time bears no resemblance to truth. In the end it becomes a question of where does reality end, and illusion begin?
For an even more in depth experience, why not consider buying the self titled album Elton John (1970), the unofficial soundtrack to this surreal romantic thriller.
