In Cinemas 19th April. In this British Mockumentary, the competitive giant vegetable growing world is rocked by scandal when up and coming prospect Caroline (Jo Hartley) has her prized marrow plants stolen. With her life turned upside down and desperate for answers, she turns to two private detectives (Aisling Bea and Ray Fearon), who are then dramatically kidnapped. Are the events linked? No, of course not. But Caroline thinks they are and the hunt for her missing marrows takes her way beyond the allotments, plunging her into a national corruption scandal that goes all the way to the top!! As Caroline readies herself for the big championship with the help of her trusty partners Willy (Celyn Jones) and Paul (Richard Lumsden), she sets off in search of the truth. On the way enduring kidnappings, car chases and worst of all courgettes. But will the culprit ever be caught? The film bounces from one quintessential British location to the next, as Carolines quest leads her from allotments to service stations, by way of chip shops and the odd layby. This award winning debut Feature from Finn Bruce and Brook Driver pokes a comedic carrot at the eccentric world of competitive vegetable growers, starring a bumper crop of acting talent including Jo Hartley (After Life, Eddie the Eagle, This Is England), Richard Lumsden (Sense and Sensibility, Sugar Rush), Celyn Jones (The Almond and the Seahorse, Submergence), Aisling Bea (This Way Up, Love Wedding Repeat) Fay Ripley (Cold Feet), Alice Lowe (Sightseers, Hot Fuzz), Ray Fearon (Beauty and the Beast, The Foreigner) and Steve Brody (The Office, Avenue 5, Im Alan Partridge).

A Brilliantly Comedic Mockumentary

Swede Caroline is a brilliantly crafted mockumentary ( a genre that has been lacking in new and original films as of recently). The film blends charm with.sharp humor to create a comedic yet endearing film. As absurd as the concept of a missing giant vegetable is the film knows how to balance its absurdist nature with truly heartfelt moments. The actors did an impeccable job and there comedic timing was spot on. There might be nothing better than a movie that is simultaneously able to provide you with laugh while also keeping you enthralled in the characters and mystery at play. A film that I believe will turn into a cult-classic in the years to come and will hopefully get the recognition and appreciation it so well deserves.
