A young shell-shocked soldier arrives in St. Ives, Cornwall on VE Day 1945 . The locals nick-name him 'Dali'. In a series of vignettes taken from each decade we build up a portrait of Dali as reflected in the lives of the people who knew him. Peppered in pithy observations about love and life- at times hilarious, at times poignant - DALI'S DEAD FUNERAL FRIDAY is full of the joy of just being alive.
