THE STORY Miriam Margolyes stars as a lonely widow Dorothy and Alistair
Nwachukwu plays teenager JJ. Their friendship starts when his football
lands in her garden. JJ helps Dorothy with difficult household tasks
and provides companionship to his octogenarian neighbor, whose husband
has passed away and son lives abroad. Her mercenary grandson is the only
family contact she has, and JJ becomes a firm friend. Meanwhile, she
encourages him to follow his dreams to be a stage actor through reciting
and reading plays. The cast also includes Stephen Fry and Oscar
Lloyd.
What a kind young man! The poster is fun.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a heartwarming movie, and Miriam is always hilarious.
DeleteUn ritratto delicato e intenso dell’amicizia femminile come rifugio, forza silenziosa e resistenza emotiva di fronte alla fragilità della vita.
