Before seeing this movie as a screening in the Netherlands I heard it was a romantic comedy with a little bit of action in it and the first feature length movie of the director. And that's just what it is. A nice funny feel-good movie. It's about a London banker who is following his dream in the Algarve in Portugal after getting into a crisis. His dreams are being blocked by some investors, but with the help of some local people he fights back. The story is simple but solid. The plot is not too exciting. But right from the start you really get into it. The movie breathes the right atmosphere of the Algarve. You can feel the heat and the dryness of the surroundings. You can also identify with the main character who wants to start a new life without the complexities of the western world, but has to face the problems one meets when starting all over again in a new place. Ellie Chidzey is convincing as his wife Sally who is used to her luxurious lifestyle in London and can't let go of it. If you like romantic comedies and want to learn a lesson in the end, I can recommend this movie.
