About this listen

1951, Devon. Connie’s job at the Tivoli cinema provides an escape from her alcoholic father, Frank. There she meets and falls in love with projectionist Charlie.

After a whirlwind romance, he splices his proposal into her favourite film, Casablanca, and for the first time, Connie dares to dream of a life beyond the one she’s settled for. Charlie promises her a happy ending, but for Connie, fate has a different plan.

1996. Seeking fulfilment after his divorce, Eddie takes on the now dilapidated Tivoli cinema, a once-shining gem in Devon. He finds an abandoned film reel with a note: I’m sorry.

The film reveals the final frames of Casablanca, with a marriage proposal to someone called Connie Harris . . .
