Screening as part of Baltic Cinema’s Quayside Kino strand — fantastic films for families as part of Balitc's Big Family Summer.
Grow is a heartwarming (and slightly chaotic) tale of pumpkins, sabotage, and unexpected family ties. When a tough-as-nails farmer takes in her rebellious niece, Charlie, she doesn’t expect her to shake up the town - or enter the fiercely competitive local pumpkin contest. But with a genetically engineered super-pumpkin, shady sabotage, and a town full of eccentric growers, Charlie’s got her work cut out for her. As she raises her pumpkin ‘Peter’ from seed to superstar, she might just grow something even bigger: a new life, a community… and maybe a little love.
