## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

It's a comedy about leaving the city. Andy and Elizabeth move to a New England town so he can write a book, but rural life proves more distracting than urban. The film arguably justifies the belief that all small towns are populated by lunatics.

**Mood tags**: cozy, outsider, playful
