SWEDE CAROLINE (2024) 15A


A hilarious mockumentary which follows Caroline (Jo Hartley), a competitive giant vegetable grower, as she readies herself for the big annual National Veg Championship. When her prized marrow, named Ricky Hutton, is stolen, Caroline and her fellow growers, conspiracy theorist Paul (Richard Lumsden) and affable Willy (Celyn Jones), are led into a seedy world of crime as they attempt to find the culprit.“The film is gloriously silly, with the three reliably retaining their composure as they uncover the truth behind Caroline’s tragic vegetable loss.” 

Independent.co.uk“Aside from its comedic achievements, Swede Caroline is surprisingly touching.” Strand


Coming up for Winter/Spring 2025
