"Local Hero" is a movie from 1983, telling a story of an oil-company salesman who's sent to Scotland to buy a whole town, so his company can build there a gasport. While the deal's taking its time, the man learns about the place, etc. The movie felt like a postcard from a simpler world, though I still can't say who the local hero was. Notable for Mark Knopfler's soundtrack. In one of the roles is young Peter Capaldi (a.k.a. the Tenth Doctor).
