 Joy
Brown (Billie Dean) is a 40-something woman with little confidence,
less self-esteem and a burning desire to realise her dream of being
a singer/songwriter. But she can’t sing. When Joy takes in a stray dog, Raffi, her life immediately changes. Her best friend, the tarot card reading Tessa (Janet Watson Kruse), moves in, Joy changes her name to Luna Starr, and she meets Peter Wolfman (Andrew Einspruch). When Peter encourages her to perform with him at the local pizzeria’s folk music nights, Joy sings – sort of – hiding behind masks of wigs and silliness.

Despite
the singing, Peter and Joy’s relationship blossoms. But there
are lots of hiccups along the way -- ex-wives, ex-husbands, frightening
performances, and bucket loads of doubt.
Set
to the backdrop of the folk music scene in an arty country town, the
film celebrates universal themes of friendship, low self-esteem, love
relationships, and the joy of dogs.
