This screening has unfortunately been cancelled. It has replaced by a screening of Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr Fox on Mon 21 April. Anyone who had booked tickets will be contacted by our box office. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Linda and her mother's relationship hasn't quite been the same since her father passed away. After another squabble, her mother Paulette tries to make it up to Linda by promising to cook her favourite meal - chicken with peppers, just like her dad used to make. But with a general strike closing shops across Paris, finding ingredients for this simple dinner quickly leads to a hilarious series of events that spirals out of control, as Paulette does everything she can to keep her promise and find a chicken for Linda.

Please Note: This screening is French language with English subtitles.
