Movie Summary

Limboland is a place where we find the gaps in life...from a fantastically downbeat version of Happy Birthday—via a hilarious tale of a disastrous family trip to see the Northern Lights—to a heart-rending country and western ballad on the nature of love, Bill explores our expectations of happiness with his trademark wit and musicality.
