Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Tony Webster, an ageing Londoner and vintage camera shop owner, whittles down the solitude of his isolated existence by keeping an affectionate relationship with his ex-wife, Margaret, and by accompanying his nearly full-term pregnant daughter, Susie, to antenatal courses. However, the unexpected arrival of an unsettling letter will disrupt the delicate balance of things in Tony's orderly life, reconnecting him with his first love from college, Veronica, and the nostalgic yet clouded memories of a distant past. Now, as Tony scavenges for bits and pieces through flashbacks, more and more, the out-of-focus picture of his youth sharpens; nevertheless, is he ready to face the truth? Written by Nick Riganas |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | At a festival screening in San Francisco, Ritesh Batra said that he had tea with Julian Barnes, author of The Sense of an Ending, ahead of filming. Batra was so nervous at meeting Barnes that he subsequently forgot most of their conversation, save for Barnes's parting line, spoken in jest: "Go ahead and betray me." See more » |

| Quotes |
Tony Webster:
[Voice over]
When you are young you want your emotions to be like the ones you read about in books. You want them to overturn your life and create a new reality. But as that second hand insists on speeding up and time delivers us all too quickly into middle age and then old age, that's when you want something a little milder, don't you? You want your emotions to support your life as it has become. You want them to tell you that everything is going to be okay. And is there anything wrong with that? See more » |
