Grace (Annette Bening) lives an idyllic life in a British seaside town, but her world soon comes crashing down when her husband (Bill Nighy) of 29 years tells her he's leaving her for another woman. Through stages of shock, disbelief and anger - and with support from her son - Grace ultimately regains her footing while learning it's never too late to be happy. Filmed in part on location in Seaford, East Sussex.
Based on the director’s own life experiences, Nicholson has said that he likes to view the story as a mid-point between "Brief Encounter" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf."
