- Synopsis
- Toby Simpson, 33, is stuck in life. Pushed and pulled in all directions by an insane boss, a jealous girlfriend, and an overbearing father, he has completely lost touch with what used to make him happy.
  
  After one particularly bad day – his birthday – he finds himself surrounded by a coach-load of young people going to the local music festival and wonders how much worse things can get. The answer? Much worse…
  
  When he has his belongings stolen by one of the festival-goers, Toby heads into the festival to try find the thief… but finds the possibility of love and freedom instead.
  
  Starring Alexander Perkins and Edyta Budnik, Happy Birthday, Toby Simpson is a charming British romance that will have you smiling for weeks.
  
  It also has one of the best soundtracks of recent years with songs from An Horse, Family Jools, Chay Snowdon, Lia Ices, Fly Golden Eagle, The Jacques, Laid Blak and many more.
  
  Remember…
  
  Only you can set yourself free…
