Moon Dogs
By FHW Roald Dahl Admin

MADE IN WALES FILM
 

"Familiar-sounding ingredients come to together in a surprisingly delightful manner in Moon Dogs, a deft blend of mismatched-buddy road movie, coming-of-age comedy and youthful love triangle." - ScreenDaily


SYNOPSIS

Michael lives with his step brother and music genius Thor in Shetland a small island far north of Scotland. Thrust together by their parents’ marriage they barely talk– but when Thor ruins Michael’s chances of going to University with his girlfriend Suzy they embark on a chaotic road trip that will push their tenuous relationship to the brink.

En-route they encounter Caitlin, a singular, wild, free spirit who dreams of being a singer. The boys fall in love with her and we follow their adventures on the road to Glasgow.
