Retired long-time couple Stella and Gerry (Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds) travel from their home in Glasgow to Amsterdam for an impromptu holiday. Traversing the beautiful European city, they find themselves freed from the routines that have come to define their lives. But as the hours pass, Stella and Gerry realize that after decades together, their relationship has reached a crossroads. After so much time long-held promises and deeply concealed wounds threaten to come to light and force them to confront their future. Based on the acclaimed novel by Bernard MacLaverty, first-time feature director Polly Findlay crafts a powerful debut that poses important questions about the nature of faith, commitment, and the power of love.
