In the seventies Strange Fruit were it. They lived the rock lifestyle to the max, groupies, drugs, internal tension and an ex front man dead from an overdose. Even their demise was glamorous; when lightning struck the stage during an outdoor festival. 20 years on and these former rock gods they have now sunk deep into obscurity when the idea of a reunion tour is lodged in the head of Tony, former keyboard player of the Fruits. Tony sets out to find his former bandmates with the help of former manager Karen to see if they can recapture the magic and give themselves a second chance.

James Bay’s soaring voice, dexterity on the guitar and statuesque good looks have earned him a Critic’s Choice Award last year. While his attained superstardom has decisively measured up to previous winners like Adele, Sam Smith and Florence & The Machine, James Bay has deftly and humbly maintained a balancing act between his chaos and calm with a down-to-earth, easy going attitude. A remarkable songwriting talent in the truest sense.

The Vietnam War during the JFK years and beyond. Made in 1972 in the filmmaker's apartment, without documentary footage of the war, metaphors are created through the animation of images and objects, and through guerrilla skits. By rejecting the authority of traditional documentary footage, the anarchist spirit of individual responsibility is established. This is history from one person's point of view, rather than a definitive proclamation.
