Synopsis

Glastonbury: A gathering of free spirits having an amazing time in a magical setting. Laura's favourite band are playing there, and she can't wait to go. But her friends let her down, and she finds herself going by herself. Almost immediately she loses both her tent and her mobile phone, and is now truly on her own. It seems like the worst possible moment in her life, as she is stranded, alone, amongst people with a completely different lifestyle, who are quite outside her previous experience. A family of travellers take her in, and help her relax into the unique atmosphere of the festival, and then she falls in love. It all adds up to an unforgettable Glastonbury experience and Laura decides it's the only place to be.
