Kate and Geoff are a comfortably off, provincial couple one week away from a party to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary, when news arrives for Geoff that the body of his then-girlfriend, Katya, has been found, 50 years after she slipped into an Alpine crevasse. Past and present collide as Geoff recalls his girlfriend frozen in time and youth, and Kate questions everything about their marriage. This unhurried film gives time and space for excellent performances from Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenaye. It is supported by the BFI Neighbourhood Project. (2015, 95 min, rated 15).
