Von Trapped DVD

A hilarious, magical comedy about a woman obsessed with The Sound of Music

Von Trapped! By Jonathan Harvey stars Caroline Quentin (Life Begins, Jonathan Creek, Men Behaving Badly) as Maria Moogan, a mobile hairdresser from Manchester, who is obsessed with The Sound of Music having watched it the night she was jilted at the alter, pregnant and emotionally wrought.
Now, 18 years later she lives with her man-hating mother Kath, played by Una Stubbs (In Sickness and in Health, Til Death Us Do Part), and only child Lee, a moody teenager with all sorts of hormonal problems. It's a pretty claustrophobic existence.
When Maria's best friend Connie wins the lottery, using Maria's lucky number 7, she gives Maria £10,000 of her winnings - with the stipulation that she must go to Salzburg to get The Sound of Music out of her system. While there, she bumps into Lee's father, now a successful but unhappy TV presenter. What results is a surprising, magical process of release and understanding that puts The Sound of Music to shame.
