Synopsis:

Mika Kaurismaki directed this British-French-Finnish romantic comedy adapted from Richard Rayner's autobiographical novel about a series of Hollywood misadventures. Vacationing in the North of England, aspiring Los Angeles actress Barbara (Vinessa Shaw) stops briefly in a village where she meets town undertaker and obit writer Richard (David Tennant) -- who just can't stop thinking about her. Flying to California, Richard arrives at the Japanese restaurant where Barbara is a waitress, and a relationship begins -- while Richard learns about Hollywood at the hands of various hustlers and agents. Shown at the 1998 Toronto Film Festival.

A tale which begins in Northern England -- a sensitive, enquiring young undertaker, who's about to get married, falls madly in love with an American girl who he meets while at a burial. He decides to go to Los Angeles where she's trying to launch an acting career, and soon finds himself at the mercy of Hollywood hustlers, agents and fast talkers.

A British writer pursues a young actress to Hollywood and needs all the help he can get to win her love.
