Inspired by real events
in Glasgow, Scotland, Forsyth's film presents Alan Bird (Paterson),
a radio DJ whose breakup with his girlfriend leads him, in
the most random way, right into the middle of the city's
"ice cream wars." Replacing the pots and pans his ex took
with her, Bird becomes intrigued with a woman in an ice
cream van, and in the absurd high jinks that result, he
finds the solace, sweetness, comfort, and joy that his
previous domestic life offered. A quirky and quiet work.
