Riassunto

Now a Major Motion Picture from Lions Gate Films, Starring William Hurt, Molly Parker and Andy Jones

Dave Purcell is ready to call it quits on his marriage and his restaurant, The Auk. His wife has left for a posting at a Washington D.C. think tank and the restaurant, built on a remote cliff on Push Cove, Newfoundland, never really took off. Dave spends his days consuming the rare delights of his well-stocked wine cellar and larder. All seems lost until Dave’s neighbour, Alphonse Murphy, comes up with an ingenious scheme to save The Auk.

"The dining room was a festival.  Every bite of salad sprayed cool juices, tasting of green and sun and earth.  The wines were rubies and topaz in the candlelight.  Tables were talking to one another.  Elbows hung over the backs of chairs.  The air was jagged with laughter.  It was the party to end all parties."
