Synopsis
Henry Copper (Sam Claflin)—young, English and about as relaxed as a stiff collar—is a novelist. He’s written one book—The Sensible Heart—which was described by reviewers as “like watching dryness dry.” The Sensible Heart wasn’t a best-seller and Henry is resigned to its obscure fate. So when his agent Jen (Lucy Punch) calls Henry in to tell him that his novel is suddenly a huge hit, Henry is shocked. He’s even more shocked when Jen tells him it’s a huge hit in, of all places, Mexico. Jen goes on to tell Henry that he needs to fly out there and plug the novel, in person and on social media. Henry barely has a phone let alone a Twitter account. Henry reluctantly goes to Mexico where he discovers that his translator is not a distinguished old gentleman, but a young and impatient woman called María (Verónica Echegui). María doesn’t want to be there either, driving Henry around (along with her grandfather Max and young son Diego) but she needs the work (the father of her son, Antonio, is on the road and not providing for his family).
