About This Event

Midwinter Break , based on the acclaimed novel by Bernard MacLaverty with first-time feature director Polly Findlay behind the camera, is a stirring meditation on faith, commitment, and the enduring power of love, as a long-time couple take a life-changing trip to Amsterdam. Retired couple Stella and Gerry (Academy Award nominees Lesley Manville and Ciarán Hinds) travel from their home in Glasgow to Amsterdam for an impromptu holiday. Traversing the beautiful European city, they find themselves freed from the staid routines that have come to define their lives. But as the hours pass, Stella and Gerry realise that after decades together, their relationship has reached a crossroads. After so much time and so many memories, long-held promises and deeply concealed wounds threaten to come to light and force them to confront their future.
