Bürgermeister Murray French will sein kanadisches Fischerdörfchen Tickle Head vor dem Verfall retten. Als eine Ölgesellschaft eine Fabrik ansiedeln will, erhoffen sich die rund 120 Einwohner Arbeit und Devisen. Allerdings müsste sich ein Arzt niederlassen, der die medizinische Versorgung gewährleistet. Zum Glück ist der junge Schönheitschirurg Dr. Paul Lewis für einen Monat in das abgelegene Nest strafversetzt worden. Ganz Tickle Head gaukelt ihm gewitzt das Paradies auf Erden vor, um ihn zum Bleiben zu bewegen. (ORF)

The Grand Seduction has an absolutely unmistakable atmosphere of the islands on the outskirts of Canada, which were once occupied by Irish settlers who now don’t want to lose their homes. I have never heard about these islands, but they look similar to, for example, Faroe Islands. And the locations were not the only thing that caught my attention in the movie. The premise and the cast, with Brendan Gleeson in the lead role, were great too. Thanks to them I fell in love with the film, so I couldn’t feel anything but positive thoughts after the end of this life story of a few people living on one island. And if this doesn’t work for you, then at least the ending itself, which puts the story of an oil company versus people looking for a job at the forefront, will do that for you. It is up to you which side you choose. Seen based on the Challenge Tour 2015.
