Girls' Night
Synopsis
Girls' Night is an inspiring and poignant film from writer Kay Mellor, one of the most formidably talented writers in Britain today. Familiar to television viewers through her series Band of Gold and the TV movie Some Kind of Life, Kay has drawn on personal experience to tell the story of Dawn and Jackie.
The film focuses on how the lives of Dawn and Jackie are transformed when Dawn wins the jackpot at one of their regular Friday night bingo sessions. Their celebrations are cut short however when Jackie discovers that Dawn has a tumour and only a short time left to live.
Dawn decides against further treatment and is determined to enjoy the time she has left. Leaving startled families behind, the two women set off to fulfil a lifetime ambition and head off to Las Vegas.
