A powerful, insightful drama about two people, both defined by their upbringing, bound by the social mores of another era centers on Florence (Saoirse Ronan) and Edward (Billy Howle), a young couple in their early twenties. Now on their honeymoon, they learn about the differences between them – their attitudes, temperaments and their drastically different backgrounds. Out on the beach on their fateful wedding day, one of them makes a major decision that will utterly change both of their lives forever. (Transmission Films)
