Hot Flash follows Geri, a single mum in her 40’s who is coming out of a marriage and dealing with menopause symptoms whilst trying to rebuild her life.

The film has been dubbed a “celebration of older women” and a tale of triumph over adversity.

Rachel Hill, the owner of Bondville Model Village which will provide a backdrop for some of the scenes said: “It definitely resonates with me. I did something really crazy in my forties by buying a model village but have no regrets.”

The film will star former Coronation Street and Emmerdale actress Gaynor Faye alongside ex-Hollyoaks actor James Atherton.

Production on the film is expected to start in January and released in cinemas in October.
