According to IMDB, Holland, Michigan is a “thriller centered on a woman who suspects her husband is cheating, and enters into an affair of her own, before learning her husband’s true, dark secret life.” Directed by Mimi Cave, the movie stars Kidman, Matthew Macfadyen and Gael García Bernal.

Various businesses downtown were given temporary signage, transformed into peanut shops, flower stores and more. Plastic tulips were “planted” on the sidewalks and in flower boxes along the street.
