THE ROSES

One afternoon in London, an architect named Theo meets an aspiring chef named Ivy. Ivy tells Theo her dream of moving to the United States to start her own business. Inspired by her enthusiasm, Theo suggests he moves with her.

Ten years later, Theo and Ivy have relocated to Mendocino, California, and are married with two children, Hattie and Roy. They have different parenting styles as Ivy spoils the children with desserts and fun activities while Theo prioritizes their health. Theo surprises Ivy, having sacrificed her business plans to raise their children, by giving her a piece of real estate where she can finally open her own restaurant.

One night, during a severe storm, Theo’s newly designed naval history museum is destroyed, just as Ivy’s new restaurant receives an influx of customers seeking shelter. They include a renowned food critic who writes a positive review, resulting in Ivy’s business growing rapidly.

Theo loses his job due to the building’s collapse and agrees to be a stay-at-home parent, while Ivy becomes the new breadwinner of the family. Taking advantage of it, he puts the children on a strict diet and imposes regular physical exercise. As a result, Ivy begins to feel shut out from her children’s lives, while Theo becomes jealous of Ivy’s success.

Feeling a rift in their relationship, the two make several attempts to reconcile, including a romantic trip to New York…

 SOUND & PROJECTOR SYSTEMS

A New Sound System was installed just before the screening of the June films in 2017. This system is a Surround Sound environment suitable for Dolby 5.1 recordings, and the verdict by regular film club members – ” It is a big improvement I could hear every word!” 

A new high resolution projector has now been installed and has significantly improved the cinematic experience using Blu-Ray Recordings

HEARING LOOP

A new hearing loop was installed in April 2015 to improve both audio and visual experience whilst watching films
