This delightful, big hearted comic tale, winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, has the makings of a genuine crowd pleaser. Academy Award winner Brenda Blethyn (Little Voice, Secrets and Lies) shines in the title role of Grace who finds out that her husband has fallen to his death from an air plane without a parachute.

While sorting out the estate, Grace discovers to her horror that her late husband was involved in various ill-fated, get-rich-quick schemes and has accumulated huge debts. If Grace doesn't raise 300,000 pounds (as well as pay a 2000 pound monthly mortgage) in due time, she will lose her manor to creditors. Scrambling to find a way out of her seemingly hopeless predicament, she, as a last resort, turns to her unemployed, Scottish caretaker Matthew (Craig Ferguson, The Big Tease) who comes up with an unexpected but inspired plan. To raise the needed money, the unlikely pair transform Graces orchid house into an indoor marijuana plantation and go into the "grass" peddling business on a massive scale. Critical to the success of their plan is maintaining the secrecy of their illegal operation in the face of prying neighbours and local authorities.

Saving Grace has the spirit and tone of the UK hit The Full Monty and Blethyn offers a gut-splitting acting tour de force as the garden club Grace who finds herself thrust into a world of nefarious drug lords.
