ONLY IN CINEMASDECEMBER 26
SYNOPSIS:
ONE LIFE tells the inspiring true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, whose unsung endeavours on the eve of World War II saved more than 600 children from their doom at the hands of the Nazis. Nicky considered himself a banker, not a humanitarian. Yet when he visited a recently annexed Prague in 1938 and saw the state of the fleeing Jewish refugees, he did what he believed was the right thing to do – the thing that anyone would do – and dedicated himself to the cause. War was approaching, and it was a race against time. How many children could he liberate before it ran out?
Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to help. And so it’s not until he’s surprised by the survivors on live television that he can accept that when facing devastating atrocities, saving even one life is a victory, and the British public learn the truth about the hero hidden in their midst. Releasing in Cinemas December 26.

SYNOPSIS:
If your Tick Tock ‘For You’ page has you on the side of ‘Book-Tock’ then you would have read, about to read, reading again or telling all your friends to read the Bestseller, A LITTLE LIFE from author Hanya Yanagihara.
Adapted from this bestseller comes the theatrical event of the year from visionary Director Ivo van Hove. Filmed live at the Savoy Theatre, London during its West End run, this record-breaking production of the million-copy bestseller comes to the big screen for a limited time.
From page to stage and now to screen, see James Norton (Nowhere Boy), Luke Thompson (Bridgerton), Omari Douglas (It’s A Sin) and Zach Wyatt (The Witcher) bring to life the story of four college friends in New YorK City: aspiring actor Willem, successful architect Malcom, struggling artist JB and prodigious lawyer Jude (Norton).
As ambition, addiction, and pride threaten to pull the group apart, they always find themselves bound by their love for Jude and the mysteries of his past. But when those secrets come to light, they finally learn that to know Jude St Francis is to understand the limitless potential of love in the face of life.
