Small Engine Repair

Doug, an Irish dreamer who sets out to make it as a country singer, has spent his life as a loser in a small town with nobody taking his heartbreaking voice and talent as a musician seriously. His wife has left him and only his best friend, Bill, a small engine repair technician, believes in him. But Doug has one last chance to make it. This gentle film bypasses the usual sentimentality, instead creating a sober, realistic paean to small town ambitions.
