Kate and Geoff are in the middle of organising their 45th wedding anniversary when a letter from abroad subjects their relationship to a severe stress test. The body of Geoff’s ex-girlfriend Katya has been discovered in the Swiss Alps due to a glacier melting, 50 years after she had an accident. The full impact of this message only becomes apparent in the days that follow; days during which Geoff increasingly retreats into reminiscing about the time before Kate and she wonders how she can be jealous of somebody who’s been dead for almost 50 years. In the meantime, their anniversary is fast approaching. The solid, exacting performances by film legends Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay contribute to this intelligent drama that intimately reminds us how wonderful and fragile every tie between two individuals really is.
