Synopsis: Frankie (Paul Kaye) was one of Europe’s most talented and envied DJs and a main attraction for hedonistic youth each holiday season in Ibiza, Spain. Everything about Frankie’s life was over the top: the clubs, the parties, the women and the drugs. But the years of pounding music and heavy toxins took their toll, eventually leaving Frankie stone deaf. His fans, record deal, manager, wife and stepson soon disappeared. The good times gone, Frankie isolated himself in his villa for a year under a pile of self-pity and a mountain of drugs. Determined to pull himself together, Frankie hired a lip-reading instructor, accepting a new way of life and rediscovering the dance rhythms that had defined him. His ultimate redemption returned him to the top of the scene with a renewed connection to the almighty beat. And then - he disappeared.

My Review: Filmed comletely in Ibiza this is one awesome movie. Music, sex, drugs, beach, clubs, women - this flick has got everything that any club head like me raves about. The perfect sunset, the perfect mansions, massive clubs, the beautiful party people is what defines Ibiza - the ultimate party island. Featuring mockumentary interviews of some of the biggest jocks in the scene, the direction of the movie is astoundingly realistic. Its looks more like a documentary rather than a work of fiction. Awesome stuff Michael Dowse.
