When taxi driver Charles reluctantly takes on an early-morning booking, he begins to regret his decision even more so when a cantankerous old woman, Madeleine is waiting begrudgingly at the pickup point. As the journey unfolds, so does the story of Madeleine’s long and eventful life – guiding the audience through her most monumental experiences, from romance to earth-shattering heartbreak. Described by Renaud, as “the most beautiful film of my life,” rediscover the power of the kindness of strangers in Christian Carion’s latest cheerful, heart-warmer.

Jennifer Saunders stars in ALLELUJAH, a Yorkshire-set drama. The threatened closure of a geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital stirs an uprising from the local community, who invite a news crew to film preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse.
The film is a warm, humorous, and deeply moving story about surviving old age. ALLELUJAH celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand.

The incredible true story, SHACKLETON: THE GREATEST STORY OF SURVIVAL traces the expedition of Sir Ernest Shackleton, one of the world’s greatest explorers. He set off in the Endurance with a crew of 28 to attempt the first crossing of Antarctica. Their journey has since become known as one of the most miraculous survival stories ever told.
