Tom, gardener at the big house, is not a fast mover with women. In fact he's glacially slow. When beautiful Polish au pair Anya arrives for the summer, Tom falls for her catastrophically like the felling of one of the giant trees he cares for in the manicured grounds. Tom's adviser in matters of the heart is young Harry, abandoned by the rich owners of the house to run wild in the gardens. Harry's secret wish is for the Red Arrows to appear at the village fair: Tom's is to win the heart of Anya. Both seem impossible dreams until the whole village decides to lend a hand.

Press Quotes
it's a sweet romantic comedy whose sensibility is decidedly English and much of its appeal comes from the genuine ambience the characters provide.
—Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile
It�s predictable �safe� humour, from a bygone age.
—Tom Ren�, CineTalk
Its existence alone is cheering.
—Andrew Lowry, Total Film
Tortoise in Love is a surprisingly enjoyable, genuinely charming British romcom with likeable characters and a handful of decent laughs.
—Matthew Turner, Aukland Review
It�s sharper than your average Britcom, and perfectly charming
—Cath Clarke, Timout London
A decidedly old fashioned film that has a big heart in many of the right places despite its modest means.
—Graham Young, Birmingham Post
This gently off-beat romance may boast more corn than a packed silo in summer but it's got a tender heart and charm to spare.
—David Parkinson, Empire Magazine
Laugh-out-loud humour and a replacement for Hugh Grant replacement. Bish bosh.
—Anna Pintus, Little White Lies
