  • Synopsis

    Chorley Empire Cinema at Chorley Theatre presents a British road trip with a difference. From acclaimed British filmmaker, Carol Morley, this dark and funny exploration of the growing friendship between two women as they hit the road in an electric car looking for reconciliation, is filled with adventure, humour and compassion. Inspired by her extensive archive of diaries, letters and art, the film weaves real events into an imagined journey as forgotten artist Audrey Amiss goes on a road trip with her psychiatric nurse.
