AS Part of BritWeek, a charming new British Film, Tortoise in Love, can be seen Sunday, May 5th at 11am at the Laemmle 4-Plex, 1332 2nd Street in Santa Monica. Tickets $5. The movie follows the dreams of Tom, gardener at an English country house and hardly the fastest gun in the west when it comes to the fairer sex.
In fact he’s glacially slow. When beautiful Polish au pair Anya arrives for the summer, Tom falls for her catastrophically like the felling of one of the giant trees he cares for in the manicured grounds. Tom’s adviser in matters of the heart is young Harry, abandoned by the rich owners of the house to run wild in the gardens. Harry’s secret wish is for the Red Arrows to appear at the village fair: Tom’s is to win the heart of Anya. Both seem impossible dreams until the whole village decides to lend a hand.
