Directed by Joanna Hogg • 2007 • United Kingdom
Starring Kathryn Worth, Tom Hiddleston
Anna (Kathryn Worth) arrives in Italy to stay with her school friend Verena (Mary Roscoe) and her family in their rented villa in Tuscany. Her partner Alex was meant to accompany her, but Anna tells Verena (at the last minute) that he has to stay in London due to his work. Over the course of the film it become apparent that Anna took the holiday to get some time away from Alex, following a heavy argument. Anna finds distraction in the company of the much younger Oakley (Tom Hiddleston, in his feature-film debut), but is eventually forced to confront her malaise head-on.
