Chuck Chuck Baby
Old schoolmates are reunited and long dormant feelings resurface, in this indie musical romance – and love letter to working-class women.
Living in a small Welsh town, Helen (Louise Brealey, Sherlock) spends her days working at the local chicken factory and caring for her ex-husband’s dying mother. Life is hard and monotonous, but there are moments of joy to be found. When an old classmate, Joanne (Annabel Scholey), returns to town after two decades of absence, Helen can’t help but remember the feelings she once had for her old friend. Infused with fun musical numbers, this touching toe-tapping tale melds kitchen sink drama with romantic-comedy.
