The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain

Set in 1917, this charming British comedy-drama follows two English cartographers, played by Hugh Grant and Ian McNeice, who arrive in a small Welsh village to measure what the locals proudly consider a mountain. When the surveyors declare it a hill, the villagers, led by the spirited Morgan the Goat, embark on a humorous quest to elevate its status. Directed by Christopher Monger, the film explores themes of pride and community spirit. While it didn’t win any major awards, it remains a delightful tale of determination and local identity.
