Summary
The cherry orchard: Madame Ranevskaya returns to her decaying estate in pre-Revolutionary Russia after an exile in Paris. The estate and its beloved cherry orchard are threatened by Ranevskaya's financial problems, and no one seems able to do anything about it.

Keep an eye on Amélie: A coquette agrees to marry a confirmed bachelor so he can inherit a million francs.
Make and break: A successful manufacturer, driven by the compulsion to use and consume everything around him, is forced to turn his eyes upon himself during one climactic night at a trade fair in Germany.
Absolute hell: Dench stars as Christine, the proprietor of a bohemian nightclub in post-World War II London.
Ghosts: Dench stars as Mrs. Alving, whose respected late husband led a dark, secret life.
Can you hear me thinking?: Parents lives are shattered when their teenage son develops schizophrenia.
Going gently: Dench stars as a hospice nurse to two adversarial patients.
