Candy mountain / Xanadu Films in co-production with Les Films Plain-Chant, Les Films Vision 4 ; a film by Robert Frank and Rudy Wurlitzer.
There is something about the road that smells like freedom and limitless possibilities. For Julius a mediocre musician, it is his highway to the big time ... not by talent or hard work but by pure hustle. When he convinces Keith Burns a music scene heavyweight, that he can find the elusive Elmore Silk legendary craftsman and maker of the greatest guitars in the world, thus begins his journey of a lifetime. After quirky encounters with a stream of unlikely and eccentric characters that populate Silk's past, Julius finally reaches his Candy Mountain when he catches up with Elmore on the last street in the last town in North America.
