Storyline

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows a car accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of color. And neither of them knows they're going to change each other for all time.

Goofs

When Will and Lou reach an edge of almost the top of the castle, a front close-up shot to their faces shows calm air while in all other scenes, it is windy. That shot must have been taken on another day.

User Reviews

An amazing love story - specially for the ones how don't usually choose romantic movies

It's impossible not to love this movie. It is a love story, although very different from what we usually see. I'm sure I'll be crying for a month, that's how good Emilia and Sam are. Not only it warms your heart, but it makes you think about free will and unconditional love. An amazing love story - specially for the ones how don't usually choose romantic movies.
