Locations from across Liverpool star as part of a new BBC film featuring the award-winning actor Bill Nighy.
A Town in Nova Scotia is about an Irish widow who decides against moving to Canada so he can launch a campaign alongside his neighbour, to make their ageing block of flats safe from fires.
The film has been part-financed by BBC Films and is the first full-length film to be part-funded by the Liverpool City Region Production Fund, which also backed BBC dramas This City is Ours and The Responder.
Director Babak Jalali said he was "thrilled" to work on the project.
