Overview
Jean and Bill are a married couple trying to scrape a living. Out of the blue they receive a telegram informing them Bill's long-lost uncle has died and left them his business—a cinema in the town of Sloughborough. Unfortunately they can't sell it for the fortune they hoped as they discover it is falling down and almost worthless.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A couple inherits a decrepit cinema and must decide whether to abandon their fortune or roll up their sleeves to keep the ramshackle place alive. It's a warm-hearted farce about making the best of what you're given, full of eccentric characters and creaky charm.
