SUMMARY:December Movie Night - Oh My Goodness!
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 2nd December 2025 at 8pm \nWhen the local nursing home finds itself in dire straits and in danger of falling to pieces\, it’s down to Mother Veronique and the eccentric sisters of the convent of St. Benedict to find a way to help. Spotting a poster for a bike race with a €25\,000 cash prize (and the incentive of a trip to the Vatican for the winner!)\, the sisters might just have their answer. \nThe only drawbacks are that they are terrible cyclists\, and their rival convent\, led by Mother Veronique’s childhood nemesis Mother Josephine\, have their own plans for the prize money – and just a little more experience… But God works in mysterious ways! \nFun and frothy\, Laurent Tirard’s hilariously absurd comedy will have you rolling in the aisles\, and the stunning landscapes of France’s Jura region provide a beautiful backdrop too! \nDirector: Laurent Tirard (2022)\nRuntime: 87 mins.\nGenre: Comedy\nLanguage: French with English subtitles\nCertificate: 12A \nTickets: €5 \nCheck out the trailer here \nIn association with Access Cinema
