What is an Into Film Club?

Synopsis

Twelve year-old Ted is desperate to impress his neighbour, Audrey, so when she reveals her wish to see a real tree, he makes it his personal mission to find one. Ted has always wondered why the town – Thneedville – is made entirely of synthetic materials and when he begins asking questions, he discovers things are even stranger than he thought. The arrival of the Lorax, a peculiar little orange creature, seems to create more mysteries than it solves. As with any adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book, there’s never a dull moment, and no shortage of nonsense, riddles or giggles!
