A warmhearted, whimsical comedy about a Welsh village's spirited resistance to an outsider's deflating truth, built on charm, community pride, and gentle romance.

When an English cartographer arrives in Wales to tell the residents of the Welsh village of Ffynnon Garw that their 'mountain' is only a hill, the offended community sets out to remedy the situation.
