Dirty Laundry

Synopsis:
When Jean recovers from breast cancer she realises it's time to make every day matter, finding renewed optimism for a brighter and more fulfilling future. After finding support hard to come by she finds inspiration in a hidden artistic talent, and true friendship from an unconditional source. Not everyone finds her newly acquired confidence infectious. Jean's neighbours Peggy and Faith are compulsive obsessive housewives, whose lives appear to be as sparkling as the houses they live in? They both exist in a cosy, safe environment where 'risk' is a four letter word. But is anyone's life really so stain free? It will all come out in the wash!

Puss In Boots

Synopsis:
This classic French tale has been transported to turn-of-the-century New Orleans, where Puss is the sassiest, brassiest cat this side of Bourbon Street. Fitted with a grand pair of red boots and a clever nature, Puss matches wits with an arrogant young Creole aristocrat, the social-climbing mayor of New Orleans, and Croque Mitaine, an evil voodoo bogeyman, all to bring title, wealth and love to his astonished master.
