One evening while serving her successful but bland husband dinner, she hears a radio announcement about Willie Nelson's farewell concert.

Greta is suddenly overwhelmed by the need to see Willie Nelson and will do whatever it takes to be at his last concert in Las Vegas. She takes off to America, leaving behind the husband and comfortable life she knows. With everything against her but so much ahead, she realizes that the return ticket becomes her heaviest piece of luggage.

Fun, fun, fun

Don't expect a ton of reality here except honest emotions and a parade of fun as Greta searches for her childhood hero, Willie Nelson. Eva Hassmann, wrote, produced, directed, and stars in her first major feature film. It's a great escape from the annoying news and vitriol, and instead has a fun storyline, heartfelt acting, and great Willie Nelson music that director Hassmann has tastefully placed throughout the film. The legendary director Peter Bogdanovich has a supporting acting role in his very last performance. Escapism - yes. Enjoyment from start to finish - yes. Sit back and fire one up, and enjoy every minute.
