The Bookshop
“A town without a bookshop is no town at all.”
Drama
Set in a small English town in 1959, a woman decides, against polite but ruthless local opposition, to open a bookshop, a decision which becomes a political minefield.
VIBE
A quiet, character-driven drama about the power of literature and the quiet courage it takes to pursue a dream. It feels like a warm cup of tea on a chilly afternoon, with a subtle undercurrent of melancholy.
