Both lonely for different reasons, Ali and Ava meet through their shared affection for Sofia - the child of Ali’s Slovakian tenants, and Ava’s student. Ali finds comfort in Ava’s warmth and kindness, and Ava finds Ali’s complexity and humour irresistible. Over the course of a lunar month, sparks fly and a deep connection grows, but the legacy of Ava’s past relationship and Ali’s emotional turmoil at the breakdown of his marriage threatens their newfound passion. Written & directed by BAFTA-nominated Clio Barnard (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant, Dark River), this tender, hopeful and compelling love story delivers two authentic performances from its extraordinary lead actors.
