“What is the meaning
of life? Are we here for
5
MAY
a reason? Is there a
point to any of this? And why
does food taste so much better
in the trash?” Brought to
you by the director of The
Cider House Rules, this feel-
good, family friendly drama
follows an adorable dog as he
attempts to find his purpose
over the course of several
lifetimes. Every time one
life ends for our cute canine
friend, he is brought back to
life in the body of another
loveable mutt and his quest
to discover the meaning of
his existence continues anew.
On hand to love, laugh,
cuddle and feed our furry pal
are K.J. Apa (currently winning
the hearts of teens around the
globe thanks to his role as
Archie Andrews in the hit
new Netflix series, Riverdale),
Dennis Quaid (the Footloose
remake) and Britt Robertson
(The Space Between Us). With
each new life, Bailey (as he’s
called when we first meet him)
learns a new lesson… and you
will too. Heck, even cat people
are going to love this one.

The Zookeeper’s Wife
TBC
Two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain stars in
this deeply moving and inspirational true WW2 story
DIRECTOR Niki Caro
starring Jessica Chastain,
Johan Heldenbergh, Daniel Brühl
Based on Diane
Ackerman’s best-
selling non-fiction
book, this incredible drama
tells the true story of Polish wife
and mother, Antonina Zabinski
(Jessica Chastain), who,
together with her husband Jan,
ran the Warsaw Zoo in the late
1930s, just as war was breaking
28
APR
out. Appalled by the terrible
atrocities being committed
against the Jews, Antonina and
Jan began covertly working
with the Polish resistance to
secretly shelter many hundreds
of Jewish “guests”. But as the
months turned into years, the
soldiers of the Third Reich
grew ever more suspicious.
An incredibly moving tale of
sacrifice and heroism during
Europe’s darkest hour.
