Movie propaganda

Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School is a heartfelt, nostalgic and gently humorous story about a chance encounter in which one man's dreams become another man's destiny.

Frank (Robert Carlyle) has been consumed by grief over his wife's death. But everything changes when he pulls over on a rural highway to help a dying stranger (John Goodman) entangled in a car wreck.

En route to fulfil a 40-year promise to his childhood sweetheart, the stranger shares a compelling tale of adolescent love replete with first kisses, youthful innocence and ballroom dancing.

Frank promises to fulfil the stranger's wish and finds himself at the doorsteps of Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School. It's here that he finds an odd path to a new beginning when he meets Meredith (Marisa Tomei) - a beautiful woman trying to find a peace of her own - and feels passionate and alive for the first time in years.
