Good People

So, on TUESDAY, the 4th June at 6pm, WFS will be screening the powerful and inspiring story set in Sudan, Goodbye Julia.

Our 8pm screening will be this year's Oscar winner for Best international film, The Zone of Interest.

Goodbye Julia
2023, Drama, English subtitles,
Rated M, 105 mins

Mona is a wealthy woman from the North of Khartoum. Her comfortable life as a professional singer is thrown into chaos when she accidentally causes the death of a poor man from the the Southern region.

With Southern Sudan campaigning for secession from the North, Mona decides to try to secretly atone for the man's death by employing Julia, his unsuspecting widow, as her live-in maid so she has a home for herself and her young son.

A wonderful story about overcoming prejudice and seeking forgiveness. - Film Online

Morning Aches Are Optional - Let’s Start the Year Sleeping Better

Marketing Manager from Beds4U - Whangarei

Hey neighbours,

Waking up with sore shoulders and stiff mornings? Here’s the plot twist - it might actually be your mattress (and pillow) letting you down.

It’s the perfect time to upgrade. New Year, New Bed! Our Boxing Day Sale is still on, so why not treat yourself to a mattress that actually supports you and helps you wake up refreshed? Side sleeper? Back sleeper? Tossing and turning? We’ve got tips and solutions for every kind of snoozer.

Don’t settle for mornings that hurt, your bed should work with you, not against you. Curious about how your mattress could be affecting your shoulders? Check out our blog: beds4u.co.nz...
