2022 · 102 min

A quiet, deeply moving portrait of a life reclaimed, carried by a gentle, melancholic dignity.

Tagline: It's never too late to start.
Overview: London, 1953. Mr. Williams, a veteran civil servant, is an important cog within the city's bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild in the aftermath of World War II. Buried under paperwork at the office and lonely at home, his life has long felt empty and meaningless. Then a devastating medical diagnosis forces him to take stock, and to try and grasp some fulfilment before it passes permanently beyond reach.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, warm and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Death, redemption, isolation, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
