Heartlands
An offbeat road trip... An exciting new world!
Directed by Damien O'Donnell
Produced by DNA Films, Miramax
A bittersweet road-trip comedy about a wronged, gentle man seeking redemption and reconnection after betrayal, balancing humor with quiet melancholy.
Gentle Colin 'Col' Lawes happily lead a quiet life, running a news agency with his soiled-rotten wife Sandra and playing competition darts in the Atletic Arms team. Colin catches her committing adultery with team captain Geoff, a cop, who pretends Colin abused her. Col is thrown off the team just after it qualified for the league finals in Blackpool. He decides to travel there alone, hoping to win her back.
