Starring (almost) the entire village of Kingston Bagpuize and Southmoor.
A feel good romantic comedy set in the beautiful English countryside of the Vale of the White Horse, in Oxfordshire. Warm hearted humour.
Written by Guy Browning who enlisted his whole village to help him create the film and was rewarded with a screening at Cannes where it was snapped up by a distributor.
The film is being released to cinemas on 13th July, but is also being made available to community cinemas so it can be screened in village and community halls at the same time.
Synopsis
Tom, gardener at the big house, is not a fast mover with women. In fact he's glacially slow. When beautiful Polish au pair, Anya arrives for the summer, Tom falls for her catastrophically. Tom's adviser in matters of the heart is young Harry, abandoned by the rich owners of the house to run wild in the gardens. Harry's secret wish is for the Red Arrows to appear at the village fair: Tom's is to win the heart of Anya. Both seem impossible dreams until the whole village decides to lend a hand.
