The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain

"A romantic comedy about a town that wouldn't give up. A man who couldn't get out. And the mountain that brought them together."

When an English cartographer arrives in Wales to tell the residents of the Welsh village of Ffynnon Garw that their 'mountain' is only a hill, the offended community sets out to remedy the situation.
