It's the late 1920s in Hollywood and handsome George Valentin is a silent movie idol. During the premiere of his latest film, Valentin meets Peppy Miller, a star-struck extra and aspiring actress. The two are attracted to each other and Peppy is given a small dancing role in his next picture. As their romance progresses, Valentin's producer has to cope with a love-struck star who is distracted on the set, Peppy's career begins to take off, and Valentin fears that a new fad in the movie business – talkies – will ruin him.

We go back to the golden age of cinema with this black & white silent movie which won 5 Oscars, including Best Motion Picture of the Year.

The free-range chickens are all processed on the farm to make the food mileage as low as possible. Traditional Rough Fell sheep are reared as well as Swaledales and Stabiliser cattle.
