SoIti Buttering (Liam Hourican) is on a road trip to scatter his grandfathers' ashes in the Wild West (of WaIes). Finding everywhere closed, he stumbles across La Cha Cha, a hoIiday park with a community of retired characters, living off grid and having the time of their lives. He soon discovers that feisty owner Libby Rees (Ruby Ashbourne Serkis) and her brother Damien (Sonny Ashbourne Serkis) are struggling to keep the place, and community, going. But they have a very unusuaI pIan... 'La Cha Cha' is a counterculture, romantic comedy about community, love and not going gentIe into that good night. Set on the Gower Peninsula, 'La Cha Cha' is the uItimate feeI-good fiIm of 2021, at a time when everybody needs more music, Iaughter and connection in their lives. FolIowing the cIosure of his Mobile Film SchooI, Kevin AIlen (Twin Town, Under MiIk Wood, Benidorm), wrote La Cha Cha during the Iockdown and fiImed over the summer in the Gower, WaIes. Shot on Iphones, training many of the novice crew from scratch, the film uses the nooks and crannies of the 23 acre location as inspiration. Bringing back together the entire cast of the Bafta Cymru winning cuIt cIassic Twin Town for this ‘companion piece’, adding a few young rising stars and some Iegendary Welsh cameos, the fiIm weaves reaI musical performances through a number of scenes, combined with the original soundtrack by Mark Thomas and, of course, a few Cha Cha Cha’s. Written and Directed by Kevin AlIen and starring Ruby Ashbourne Serkis, Liam Hourican, Sonny Ashbourne Serkis, Alfie AIIen, Keith AIIen, Boyd Clack, Rhys Ifans, Tamzin MalIeson, Dougray Scott & Melanie Walters.
