The Turners are an ordinary British family that just can’t get out of debt after the 2008 recession. Ricky was a builder, but lost his job. Now he is scrounging up enough money for a truck and finding work with a delivery service. In order to cover his costs, he has to work 14 hours a day, which means that Ricky hardly sees his family. His wife Abbie has an equally hard time taking care of the elderly and infirm. They start to displace their exhaustion and annoyance on their teenage children, and although the family used to be friends with each other and feel a very strong connection, the growing mass of problems threatens to ruin them.

17:20. Animated, Fantasy, Comedy, Family. UK, Canada, US 2019, 87 min. Directed by Greg Tiernan, Conrad Vernon. In English with Russian subtitles. The extravagant Addams family is back, now as a feature-length animated film, terribly funny and exquisitely dark. They wear black, love cemeteries, never smile, live in a scary house with ghosts on the top of a hill — and feel great about it. At the bottom of the hill, there is an ideal little town, full of pastel-colored houses, green pastures, and joyful smiles. One of the residents thinks that the Addams family doesn’t quite fit into the overall picture, and they decide to declare war on their strange neighbors. But the Addams family values have never been stronger!
