45 Years

Kate and Geoff Mercer are happily married. The two are planning to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary by throwing a party. One week before the happy day, Geoff discovers that the body of his first love, who died in a tragic accident 50 years earlier, has been retrieved from a glacier in the Swiss Alps. While he retreats into his own world of distant memories, Kate strives to suppress the feelings of insecurity that begin to grow inside her. From the outside, things seem to be as they always were. But their peaceful coexistence is slowly spinning out of control. Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay put in stunning performances as the film’s protagonists. They perfectly capture the trust and hidden tensions found in a long-term marriage with meaningful glances and gestures.
