Global Heresy (alternately titled Rock My World in the United States and Canada)
Plot
When a
rock band at the top of their game suddenly loses their band leader/bass player, their musical direction becomes questionable. All the band members know is that the leader's clothes were found at the edge of a waterfront and he has not been seen since. To replace their missing leader, they hire a new bassist, Natalie, who shakes up their thoughts of the band. However, the biggest changes come when the band decides to go into
seclusion to develop new songs and a new sound. They rent a
mansion from an
aristocratic couple, Lord and Lady Foxley, who are in need of money. When the staff hired to be on hand when the band arrives do not show, the couple decides to act as the
butler, Benson, and the cook, Margaret. The obvious conflicts between the two cultures occur, but a respect for each other gradually follows. Meanwhile, the band's recording company is trying to trick them into signing a contract that obliges them to make the music as the company requires, denying their "creative control". Towards the end of the film, the
status quo becomes further shaken when the original band leader shows up and admits that his disappearance had been a planned
publicity stunt.
