Umberto Pasolini, the Italian who made The Full Monty, moves to the west of Ireland, to a small town not far from Ballykissangel where the entertainment consists of the local priest putting loudspeakers on the bell tower and playing tapes of the bells
from St Peter's in Rome.
Then he starts a film society and books The Ten Commandments but is sent 10 instead.
Get the picture? Get the feeling you've seen it all before? Then you'll know that the local lads, believing that all the women in town are stuck-up, are going to buy an ad in the Miami Herald to invite American women to their annual dance. And that the local women will retaliate by inviting a band of suitably Mills and Boonish Spaniards.
The men are led by Kieran (Ian Hart), the local butcher, the women are led by Siobhan (Cathleen Bradley), who works for him, and it's not going to take you 92 minutes to work out that Kieran is not going to be spending too many more of his nights in the pub with his mates.
