Kalender Girls (2003)
Ältere Frauen, die Marmelade einkochen, sind nichts Besonderes. Frauen, die sich nackt für einen Kalender ablichten lassen, und das alles für einen guten Zweck - das ist etwas Besonderes! Chris und Annie sind seit Jahren beste Freundinnen. Das beschauliche Leben der beiden Damen in einer kleinen Stadt in Yorkshire wird erschüttert, als Annies Ehemann an Leukämie stirbt. Als Chris, ein Mitglied des lokalen Frauenvereins, die Idee hat, deren alljährlichen Kalender zu produzieren, um damit Geld für das örtliche Krankenhaus zu sammeln, bringt diese ausgefallene Idee nicht nur die kleine Stadt in Aufruhr. Denn bald verbreiten sich die Schlagzeilen so weit, dass selbst Hollywood auf die Kalender Girls aufmerksam wird. Inmitten der großen Aufregung, die Chris Initiative hervorruft, wird die Freundschaft der beiden Frauen auf eine harte Probe gestellt.
