Sam and Tusker are travelling across England in their old camper van visiting friends, family and places from their past. After Tusker was diagnosed with young-onset dementia two years ago, their lives have had to change. It’s rare to see a cinematic drama executed with such consistent care.

Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci play this longtime couple who derive as much pleasure from snarky bickering as they do from sex, snuggling and serious conversation. As they toddle through England’s lake country, Macqueen unravels their back story subtly and organically. Sam was once a concert pianist; Tusker is a novelist and an astronomy enthusiast. On a break from driving, Sam pages through one of Tusker’s works and waxes sarcastic about the novel’s challenging style. Tucci and Firth give brilliant and rare performances as men of passion and integrity - and most importantly, as men who know what love is.

"Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci dazzle as a couple facing their fears" - **** Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
