Synopsis
Glasgow, 1980s. The battle for the soul of a city unfolds in a seedy health club where sleaze meets idealism.
A Wholly Healthy Glasgow ollows the story of Murdo Caldwell, a fresh-faced gym instructor whose vision of creating a “wholly healthy Glasgow” threatens the cozy, corrupt lifestyle of Charley and Donald, who run the disreputable Adonis Health Club. As Murdo introduces his ideals of fitness and wellness, Charley and Donald plot to oust him, leading to a comedic clash of minds and morals.
