This is the incredible story of Edwyn Collins, a celebrated lyricist who had the contents of his mind effectively deleted after experiencing a stroke. He could only say two phrases after waking up: 'Grace Maxwell' (his wife) and 'The Possibilities Are Endless'. Placed inside Edwyn's mind, we embark on a remarkable journey from the brink of death back to language, music, life and love. With the help of his wife, Edwyn submerges himself in a landscape of memories, as he tries to unlock the story of his past. More than a story of determination against all odds; it is an intimate and life-affirming tale of rediscovery. 2014 Pulse Films

I was lucky enough to see this at Edinburgh Filmhouse with my son with a Q&A and live performance by Edwyn afterwards. He is still touring with the film so don't miss the chance to see it with Edwyn if you can. It is an amazing film in its own right. It would be profoundly moving even if you didn't know about Orange Juice and Edwyn Collins. Grace Maxwell is an astonishing woman and they are an amazing double act in the film and in real life.
