Living
16 March
1953. London is still recovering from WWII. Rodney Williams is a veteran civil servant within the city’s bureaucracy as it struggles to rebuild. Buried under paperwork at the office, lonely at home, his life has long felt meaningless. Then a shattering medical diagnosis forces him to grasp fulfilment before it’s beyond reach. He flirts with hedonism then finds himself drawn to the natural vitality of a young woman who once worked under his supervision and is now determined to spread her wings. One evening he’s struck by a revelation – one as simple as it is profound – and with a new energy, and the help of an idealistic new recruit to his department, he sets about creating a legacy for the next generation.
Directed by Olivier Hermanus, starring Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood.
