Synopsis:

Diego Luna stars as an appealingly vulnerable young man who prefers to spend his time being Michael Jackson. Not in any sense related to little boys, just as a talented performer with unique dance moves and an odd sense of dress. He's good at it, too, although the only gigs his sympathetic agent can find him in Paris is entertaining at an old folks home.

Then he meets Marilyn Monroe, at least a young blonde woman (Samantha Morton) who sort of resembles her. She's sweet and explains that she lives with her husband, Charlie Chaplin (Denis Lavant), and their daughter, Shirley Temple (Esme Creed-Miles), at a commune populated by impersonators of famous people.

She begs him to join them and so he does. He discovers they all live at a handsome castle by the sea (actually Duncraig Castle at Plockton in Scotland), and a motley crew they are. There's Madonna (Melita Morgan), Sammy Davis Jr., James Dean and the Three Stooges (Daniel Rovai, Nigel Cooper,Mal Whiteley). There's an Abe Lincoln (Richard Strange) who swears a lot, a dotty Pope (James Fox) and a lout Queen of England (Anita Pallenberg).

They raise sheep and they're busy preparing the barn so they can put on a big show for the local folk. The assorted personalities and their famous images make for some unlikely but entertaining sight gags, although the film also has dark moments, including unexpected bullying, the slaughter of sheep and the death of one impersonator.
