“It's never too late to start.”

Drama

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.

VIBE

A quiet, deeply felt drama about confronting the end of life. It’s a gentle, melancholic reflection on missed opportunities and the search for purpose, set against a beautifully realized post-war London.
