Ask him to clean the latrines and he rigs the toilet seats to stand up and salute. The film follows him through basic training and into the paratroops, where he becomes an unlikely hero. Not rated.

Description:
Based on the novel by Noel Streatfeild, this 2007 BBC Northern Ireland production is an inspiring family film. The Fossils are an unconventional British family living in 1930's London. Orphans Pauline, Petrova, and Posy, are being raised by an elder sister Sylvia and her Nana in the absence of their eccentric great uncle Matthew. As Sylvia struggles to educate and support her three charges on very limited funds, she is forced to let rooms and enroll the girls in the Academy of Dance and Stage Training in hopes of furthering their education and preparing them to earn a comfortable living. While at the academy, each of the three ambitious girls discovers her own personal calling and labors intensively to achieve her dreams: Pauline studies to become a star on the stage, Petrova gravitates toward a career in aviation, and Posy trains to become a great classical ballerina. Their paths are difficult and full of adversity, but the sisters' steadfast support of one another and common resolve to earn a place in the history books based on their own merits propels each of them toward individual success. This is a compelling and inspirational film that encourages young women to strive for their dreams. Rated PG. Popcorn and pop are provided. This free program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
