Lapwing (18)

The Courtyard Cinema welcomes back regular actress Hannah Douglas (Hopeless Romantics, Pride & Prejudice) in this tense period drama. Set in England, 1555, an isolated group of salt farmers arrange illegal passage to Europe for an Indian Gypsy family in hiding. However, a love affair between Patience, a mute English girl, and Rumi, the son of the Egyptians, threatens to destroy both communities.

We are delighted to welcome Hannah, co-star Sarah Whitehouse and writer Laura Turner to introduce the screening on January 17 and to lead a Q&A following the film.
