Calendar Girls

When Annie's husband John dies from leukaemia, her close friend, Chris, wants to purchase a comfortable sofa for the visitors' lounge in the hospital where John was treated, and raise some money for Leukaemia research. Blasting away all preconceptions of what it is to be in a women's institute, Chris hits upon the idea of printing a calendar featuring members of the Knapely branch of the WI, discreetly posing nude whilst engaged in traditional WI activities. 

​

Her proposal is initially met with great scepticism, but she eventually convinces a group of ordinary women to participate in the project with her.

​

Upturning preconceptions is a dangerous business and none of the ladies expect the emotional and personal ramifications they go through as a result. The making of the calendar allows each woman to blossom in her own way, like a sunflower.
