Calendar Girls is not a story about models, but about the raw beauty of friendship. With the down-to-earth humor that characterizes Wijgmaal, the women struggle through awkward photo sessions and personal doubts. The result? A heartwarming tragicomedy about solidarity when life is going against you for a moment and the courage to literally expose yourself.
What starts as a quiet Tai-Chi lesson at VivaVrouw Wijgmaal, ends in a plan that will make the village church tower wobble. Inspired by a heartbreaking loss, these ladies decide that flowers and cupcakes are not enough to raise money this year. They trade their knitting needles for a camera lens and their comfort zone for… well, for absolutely nothing actually.
