Based on the incredible true story of Joseph Ferdinand Cheval, The Ideal Palace is the tale of Cheval (Jacques Gamblin), a simple postman who travels every day along the Drôme, from village to village. Alone, and upset he meets the woman of his life, Philomena (Laetitia Casta). From their union- their daughter Alice is born. For this child he loves more than anything, Cheval throws himself into a crazy gamble: to build her, with his own hands, an incredible palace. Never spared by the ordeals of life, this ordinary man will not give up and will devote 33 years to build an extraordinary work: "The Ideal Palace"`

PG, 100 mins, US/China

In this funny, uplifting tale based on an actual lie, Chinese-born, U.S.-raised Billi (Awkwafina) reluctantly returns to Changchun to find that, although the whole family knows their beloved matriarch, Nai-Nai, has been given mere weeks to live, everyone has decided not to tell Nai Nai herself. To assure her happiness, they gather under the joyful guise of an expedited wedding, uniting family members scattered among new homes abroad. As Billi navigates a minefield of family expectations and proprieties, she finds there’s a lot to celebrate: a chance to rediscover the country she left as a child, her grandmother’s wondrous spirit, and the ties that keep on binding even when so much goes unspoken. With The Farewell, writer/director Lulu Wang has created a heartfelt celebration of both the way we perform family and the way we live it, masterfully interweaving a gently humorous depiction of the good lie in action with a richly moving story of how family can unite and strengthen us, often in spite of ourselves.

Sun: 2:30pm & 5.30pm; Wed 3.30pm & 6:30pm
