Maggie Gyllenhaal stars as Lisa Spinelli, a kindergarten teacher and poet fed up with her career, her oblivious husband and teenage kids who largely ignore her. When she discovers that a five-year-old in her class may be a poetic prodigy, Lisa becomes fascinated and tries to protect him from neglectful parents. She soon finds herself risking her career and family to nurture his talent.

Join us on Wednesday 13th March for a post screening discussion and poetry workshop, hosted by Reclaim the Frame - a campaign to bring ever greater audiences to films by women to offer a wider perspective of the world. Book tickets here.
