Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film

Nobody just wakes up and decides to improve their home. Life happens, things change, and your home needs to change with them. B&Q enables us to do just that with ease. This film is a powerful story of change, made easy, all captured in one beautiful moment.

The film shows a woman flip-her-house-beautiful, as she takes control of the exciting yet daunting news of a new baby. Her house literally and figuratively flips 180 degrees as she navigates this change to her life and her home.

Shot for real in just a few long takes, on a rotating 24 tonne set, at its highest six storeys high, with both the actors and the camera team, including director, in wires making something incredibly difficult look effortless. Combining honest performances and a fantastical world, the tone of the film is brought to life by David Bowie’s legendary track Sound and Vision.
