“And this is a song about people like us…”
This surreal cinematic voyage drifts through 1980s small-town Americana.
Bryne is our deadpan narrator, driving through the fictional Texas town of Virgil on the cusp of a much-anticipated talent show, in celebration of its sesquicentennial.
On the way, we meet an array of its eclectic inhabitants, going about their modest lives and preparing for the big event – including John Goodman as computer plant worker and aspiring country singer Louis.
