The story of rapping duo Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, two Scots who, after getting several “no”s from UK record companies, devise a plan to reinvent their career. They pass for Californians hailing from small towns and talking in North-American, so people will buy into their sham – a rapping due called Silibil’n’Brains that wins over the record industry. They become high-society fixtures associated with a business moved by excess. But his fantasia can’t go very far… From the director of Sound it Out. SXSW 2013.
