Once upon a time, Weird Al dared us to be stupid. Years later, Bay Area rapper Mac Dre coined the phrase “stupid doo doo dumb” in celebration of that mental state. With his latest feature, Jim Hosking turns his eye toward another crucial moment in pop history: the fateful meeting of two musical heroes, taking their life experiences and artistic genius to craft a song that would unite a generation in racial harmony. I am, of course, speaking of Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder – the subjects of Hosking's latest feature-length practical joke.

Three sisters return to their childhood home for a momentous weekend: the third wedding of their twice-widowed mother, Diana Frost. The three daughters are from very different walks of life: Georgina is a hospice nurse; Victoria is a Hollywood star; and Katherine is a Captain in the Royal Navy. Over the weekend, the family gathers to celebrate the new marriage, but mother and daughters alike are forced to revisit the past and confront the future, all with help from a colorful group of unexpected wedding guests.

There is a skit festival at a women’s college. A lecturer named Jeon asks his uncle to direct a skit in his medical department. Jeon paints in the Suyu stream in front of the school every day. The goal is to obtain patterns for one’s own work. His uncle is an actor and director who has been unable to work for several years due to being blacklisted. He took up directing because he remembered directing a skit as a first-year student at this women’s college 40 years ago. A scandalous incident occurs among the students performing a skit, and the former student and uncle become involved in the incident. In the meantime, the uncle becomes closer to the female professor in the textile department. Every night, the moon in the sky grows bigger and bigger, and his uncle paints by the Suyu stream every morning.
