Kate and Geoff Mercer are planning to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary with dozens of friends. The event is to take place soon in the community hall of Norwich, the town near which they live. A week before the party, Geoff receives a letter which, although he tries to hide it, obviously troubles him. When his wife asks him what is going on, Geoff tells her that the body of Katya, his first great love who disappeared fifty years before in the Alps, has just been found in a melting glacier. From then on, Geoff starts behaving more and more strangely and for the first time after so many years Kate asks herself who the man she married so long ago really is.

"....when a lovely flame dies.....smoke gets in your eyes...." Poor Kate. She realises that the song sung at HER wedding 45 years ago was chosen by her husband in remembrance of his dead fiancee. Kate finally knows the truth......she has been second best to a ghost for her entire marriage. Very sad. - @Thursday, June 1, 2017 10:25 AM

One of the best films of last year. It gives a subtle message. Performances are excellent in this film. Especially what Charlotte achieved with this film is unbelievable. She expressed sadness, jealousy, pain & all that in seemingly minimal effort. She deserved a trophy for her incredible performance!!!!!! - @Friday, March 4, 2016 9:09 PM

The scene where the couple begin to have sex but the husband (the marvellous Tom Courtenay) is unable to perform is the moment, I believe, when the wife (Charlotte Rampling at her most brilliant) realises that her husband always keeps his eyes closed during their intimate moments because he is thinking of his lost love, Katja. Kate tells him to open his eyes......and he is unable to carry on making love to her. - @Tuesday, March 1, 2016 1:12 PM

The ending is so sad and haunting. Charlotte Rampling is brilliant. The sadness in her face when she finally acknowledges the truth......that her husband of 45 years has never stopped loving the girl that he was engaged to before he met her......... - @Sunday, February 28, 2016 12:16 PM

I am a huge fan of drama arts films and hope the best for Charlotte Rampling, but this has to be one of the most bland boring movies I have ever come across. NOTHING happens! - @Thursday, February 11, 2016 3:07 AM

MY RATING - 7 out of 10 This is a really interested film about an elderly couple who have been happily married for 45 years and then the husband gets some news from his past that rocks their relationship to the core. This is a wonderfully gentle film that doesn't rely on any of the bangs and whistles of modern film making but just a great script and some brilliant acting from Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay . In a way this is quite a sad movie. It's about learning that saying less is sometimes better than confrontation especially when a lifetimes relationship is at stake. This won't be to everyone's liking but this made a welcome change to some of the films I have seen lately. - @Tuesday, January 26, 2016 6:38 PM

Amazing film. Took the breath away. The most "adult", grown-up film I have seen for such a long time. Such emotion, such repression and grief. Charlotte Rampling amazes me. The final scene is devastating. - @Thursday, November 26, 2015 5:57 PM

The final shot of this film will forever haunt me. Charlotte Rampling's performance...I hadn't seen that amount of sadness in a human face in a long time. She broke me, a masterpiece of acting. - @Saturday, November 7, 2015 12:40 AM

I'm going to see this film but this annoying trailer left me wondering if I need to! It needs a SPOILER ALERT as it gives you the impression that it reveals the end of the film , as well as the story outline! - @Saturday, October 10, 2015 2:47 AM

Two of the most experienced British film actors alive.....and what a masterclass they give. This is what film is for......to mirror the fragilities of old age. Thank you Andrew Haigh. God bless Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay. - @Thursday, October 1, 2015 2:42 PM

Will crix stop dictating what "true" emotion is? There is no one truth, just many ways of manifesting the universal. That said file this next to Under the Sand! - @Saturday, August 29, 2015 8:36 AM
