Directed by Roger Michell
Starring
Jim Broadbent Helen Mirren Fionn Whitehead Anna Maxwell Martin Matthew Goode Jack Bandeira Aimee Kelly Charlotte Spencer
Synopsis
In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. It was the first and only theft in the Gallery’s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on the condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge - Kempton had spun a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage - how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.

Starring
Miguel Ángel Solá Ángela Molina Olga Bołądź
Synopsis
*OPENING MAY 20* | TOWER HITS SCREENING SERIES | At 88, Abraham Bursztein is seeing his place in the world rapidly disappear. His kids have sold his Buenos Aires residence, set him up to move to a retirement home, and disagree on how to handle his fading health. But Abraham survived the Holocaust, made a successful life in a foreign land, and isn’t about to quietly fade away. Instead, he plots a secret one-way trip to Poland, where he plans to find the Christian friend who saved him from certain death at the end of World War II, and to keep his promise to return one day. Comedic and poignant in equal measure, from Argentina to Spain, across Germany and finally to Poland, Abraham is on his own but also accompanied by the characters he meets along the way, who both help him and need his help. (91 mins / Drama / Language: Spanish with English subtitles) *We are bringing back this popular film along with other recent favorites as part of our TOWER HITS SCREENING SERIES, taking place throughout the summer!
