Winner of two BIFA awards for Best Actor - Josh O'Connor and Best Debut Director - Harry Wootliff.
Nominated for the 2020 BAFTA for Outstanding British Debut.
Elena (Laia Costa), 35, and Jake (Josh O'Connor), 26, meet by chance on New Years Eve, fighting for the same taxi. But, instead of going their separate ways after a shared ride, they start a passionate relationship. Within weeks they are living together, and not long after they talk about starting a family.
But, as the seasons pass, reality catches up with them. Falling in love was the easy part, but can they remain in love when life doesn’t give them everything they hoped for?
The full movie is available to watch online exclusively with Curzon Home Cinema.
