Overview

In late-1970s suburban London, Chris and Marion have settled into a comfortable yet all-too-predictable middle-class existence. Chris receives an unexpected visit from his free-spirited friend Toni, a reunion that reminds him of a more carefree time in 1960s Paris. Now, with lingering doubts about his marriage bubbling up, Chris must make the choice between revisiting his youthful abandon with Toni or facing the here and now with Marion.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A wry meditation on the gap between who we were and who we've become, played out through the return of an old flame that threatens the fragile equilibrium of suburban domesticity. It's a film about choosing between the romance of memory and the reality of adult responsibility.
