Based on the acclaimed novel, Midwinter Break is a compelling story about the enduring power of love, commitment, and lost faith as a long-time couple takes a life-changing trip to Amsterdam.
Retired long-time couple Stella and Gerry travel from their home in Glasgow to Amsterdam for an impromptu holiday. Traversing the beautiful European city, they find themselves freed from the staid routines that have come to define their lives. But as the hours pass, Stella and Gerry realize that after decades together, their relationship has reached a crossroads. After so much time and so many memories, long-held promises and deeply concealed wounds threaten to come to light and force them to confront their future.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Bernard MacLaverty, first-time feature director Polly Findlay crafts a powerful debut that poses important questions about the nature of faith and commitment, and the enduring power of love.
