Ein Blitzschlag bei einem gigantischen Open Air Konzert beendete 1977 die Karriere der legendären Rock-Kultband "Strange Fruit". 20 Jahre später sind die Helden von einst gescheiterte Götter, die sich mit Pechvogeljobs über Wasser halten. Pleite, bürgerlich und vom Leben beinahe besiegt. Aber sie haben immer noch den Rock`n`Roll. Und ihren Ex-Keyboarder Tony (Stephen Rea), der die Jungs zum Comeback überredet. Rostig aber unverdrossen, geplagt von Ängsten und keifenden Ehefrauen, geht "Strange Fruit" auf Tingeltour. Die Legende lebt, sie ist laut - und nicht totzukriegen. Die Flamme brennt - und sie kann mehr als Bierbüchsen knacken...

This gently satirical British comedy chronicles the quixotic reunion of a late, arguably not-so-great, and unlamented `70s rock band, Strange Fruit, with a winning mix of humor and poignancy. The "Fruits;" as the survivors call themselves without irony; had disbanded after the tragic loss of one member; the mysterious disappearance of another; and the aftershocks of internal rivalries, but 20 years later they warily reassemble for a Dutch club tour; a warm-up for a proposed festival appearance. Between that seemingly hare-brained proposal and the fateful festival; director Brian Gibson, working from a sharp script by Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais, captures the absurdities of middle-aged rockers trying to recapture that lost cockiness.
