Guilty Pleasures

Synopsis

A real life RomCom starring Mills & Boon devotees from across the world.

Demure Japanese housewife Hiroko yearns to be swept off her feet by a dashing David Beckham look-alike. When she takes up ballroom dancing lessons with dishy Mr Iijima, will fantasy become reality?

Feisty Indian princess Shumita has grown tired of playing the victim since her debonair husband left her for a younger woman. Deep down she knows she's the true love of his life and she's out to get him back.

Single Mum Shirley has finally found true love with her very own hero. But her knight in shining armour has his dark side: together they must find a way to hold onto their happy ending.

Sexy romance cover model Stephen can get any woman he wants. But he won't settle for anything less than his 'eternal flame' and he's having trouble finding her.

Glamorous author Gill Sanderson delivers five Mills and Boon titles a year to her devoted readers across the world. However, Gill is in fact Roger, a pensioner writing from a small caravan in the Lake District.

Five heroes, four continents, one dream of true love. Because real life begins where Mills and Boon ends.

Waiting For A Lift Waiting For A Lift

Director: Julie Moggan

Year: 2005

The filmmaker returns to her hometown - Stowmarket - a sleepy backwater in rural Suffolk where nothing much ever happens. As she sits with her camera in the local taxi office, a variety of characters pass through - from restless children and old school friends to drunken squaddies. While they sit and wait for their taxis to arrive they share their dreams, desires and disappointments.

Africa Express Africa Express

Director: Emilio Guerrero Alexander

Year: 2026

Founded in 2004 by Damon Albarn and Ian Birrell, the UK music collective Africa Express has spent two decades bringing artists together across borders. In February 2024 it arrived in the Americas for the first time. Over eight days in Las Estacas, Mexico, more than 60 musicians from Africa, Latin America, Europe and the United States came together to rehearse, perform and create an album from scratch. Following Africa Express from Mexico through Europe and back, the film becomes a poetic journey through music, memory and imagination, celebrating the power of collaboration and community as reality slowly blurs with fantasy. With no single protagonist, the collective itself is the main character and music is its language. Africa Express is a portrait of a fleeting community and of what strangers from different worlds can build when they truly listen to each other.

Brian Johnson The Lives of Brian

Director: Bill Jones, Ben Timlett

Year: 2027
