Medical counsellor Gerri (Ruth Sheen) is happily married to geologist Tom (Jim Broadbent).
The only dark cloud is Gerri’s lonely work colleague Mary (Lesley Manville), who continually pops round to share her woes. Tom and Gerri are thrilled when their lawyer son, Joe (Oliver Maltman), visits with new girlfriend Katie (Karina Fernandez) in tow.
Instead, they attempt to pair off Mary with Tom’s boyhood friend Ken (Peter Wight).
‘Another Year’ is a beautifully observed portrait of modern life.
