This Is Heaven
Synopsis
Narcissistic and shallow, Anna makes for a strange friend to Claire, but she supports her in her depression – only because of a recent events that has affected Claire’s life. They meet up with Rex in the park and he persists with the idea that they are all living in ‘heaven’, and that his wife is coming. While Claire can only see death; does she see Rex’s perception of his life being in heaven, or is he really quite mad and believes he is dead? While this sounds ridiculous to her, Claire is somehow drawn in by this man’s belief that they are all living in a better place – they just don’t know it yet.
This is Heaven explores people’s perception about the world around them; whether their life is true to others or not, it is true to them.

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT AND DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!
