The most quintessentially British working-class filmmaking club, Bradford Movie Makers’ members grow old amid flickering memories and the brutal reckoning of their final years. To ensure its survival, the group has decided to embark on its most ambitious project: to remake a beloved musical. Desperately clinging to their dreams – and each other – and fuelled by endless cups of tea, this group speaks to the escapist dreamer in us all. The film gives a quietly hilarious, profoundly moving portrait of shared artistic folly. A whimsical tongue-in-cheek tone and playful editing awill hook the audience on a slightly absurdist journey where we ponder more and more on why anyone makes a film in the first place.
