The Stolen

Synopsis

Charlotte Lockton has settled in 1860s New Zealand with her wealthy husband, David. But her life’s dreams are shattered when he is murdered on their farm and her baby son is kidnapped. A month after paying a ransom, frustrated with the apathy of the authorities and distrusting of her staff, she decides to track him down on her own.
And so begins her journey through the wilds of an untamed New Zealand. She is forced to join a convoy of whores, ex-cons and a Maori warrior heading for the rough mining community of Goldtown. There she meets Joshua McCullen, the owner of the mining town: a man who is key to uncovering the truth behind the disappearance of her son, forcing her to fight to the death for what she holds most dear.

Keeping Mum Keeping Mum

Director: Niall Johnson

Year: 2006

Every small town has its secrets and Little Wallop is no exception. In a lovely little house, on an idyllic English country lane, live the Goodfellows: Walter, the bumbling town vicar (Rowan Atkinson), Gloria (Kristin Scott Thomas) and their children, Holly and Petey. Gloria tries desperately to keep up appearances, but she knows the whole charade is about to blow to bits: brazen, rebellious Holly has a new boyfriend every week; shy little Petey is the whipping boy for the school bullies; Walter is too busy writing sermons to notice Gloria's fetching new lingerie, or realise that his family is in crisis; and Gloria is so fed up with all of them that she's ready to run off to Mexico with Lance (Patrick Swayze), her rakish American golf instructor. Each night, Gloria prays for salvation or, at the very least, for the neighbour's dog to stop barking.<br /> <br /> Enter Grace (Maggie Smith), the answer to Gloria's prayers: a charming, discreet housekeeper with her own unique definition of keeping house - and an unusual knack for problem-solving. Thanks to Grace, Gloria's woes magically begin to evaporate: no more barking dog, no more prying neighbours, no more bullies tormenting her son. But Gloria soon realises everything comes at a price, and there may be more to her capable new housekeeper than meets the eye.
