Starring Jim Broadbent and Penelope Wilton

A seemingly unremarkable man in his 60s, Harold lives a life without purpose. One day he learns his old friend
Queenie is dying. He embarks on a walk to mail a letter, only to keep going for 450 miles until he reaches
Queenie's hospice, convinced that his journey can keep her alive, much to the despair of his wife Maureen.
Based on the best selling book, this is a celebration of everyday joy and human connection and the power of
hope and faith.

SEPT 16 TH
“ONE LIFE” 12
Biography / Drama / History
Starring Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter

The stirring true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, in the months leading up to
World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis in Prague in a race against time
before the borders closed. Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he
wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It’s not until a live BBC
television show, ‘That’s Life’, surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that he
finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.
