About this show

From novelist Patrick Gale, this is a tender, powerful film sure to spark conversation about outdated attitudes and equal rights. Two love stories set 60 years apart are linked by a secret that echoes through generations, from aforbidden relationship impossible during WWII, contrasted with a present-day romance that is nearly derailed by the 1940s tale with which it is deeply intertwined.

The movie is absolutely beautiful! Very well balanced in my opinion. It's not the story of two gay men in my opinion. It's about the torment of two people not being able to be together. I'm a straight middle aged woman and I cried for these two lovers. Moving, beautiful movie! A love story that make us think, not judge. Oliver crying on the stairway... So painful!
