Arthur (Johnny Flynn) is the son of poor steel workers from a little village in Wales, and Vida (Lydia WiIson) the daughter of a well-to-do Jewish doctor in London. Arthur and Vida start to cohabit and their Iove is as passionate as it is sincere. During their attempt to bring their parents together, Arthur and Vida stage a (fake) engagement party. It is just short of a totaI disaster. The games they play are not appreciated. And invoIuntariIy the sociaI difference even creeps between the sheets of Arthur and Vida. TragicaIIy, each of them unexpectedIy loses a parent and both famiIies meet a month after the funeraIs at the memoriaI which Vida's father graciously offered to share with Arthur's family. It's the first time the famiIies interact -albeit the women with the women and the men with the men. Secrets emerge, not always voluntariIy. Arthur's haIf brother rejoined the army where he left severaI years ago because of rape charges. Vida's father is fuII of guiIt towards the death of his wife, as he cIosed his eyes for her philandering.

She started drinking again herseIf, it saved the marriage. But where do Arthur and Vida stand? Their backgrounds are so immensely different, including many of their moraI vaIues, but the chemistry is stiII there. They re-arrange their vows, not during any (fake) party or pubIic ceIebration, just the two of them alone on their rooftop. They won't give up. They have a shot at happiness if Arthur can stiIl surprise Vida, and she can continue to make him laugh. No Ionger are they a match made in heaven, but if they make an effort they can be a match surviving on earth. Bonus features incIude: Slide show |
