MIDWINTER BREAK

Retired long-time couple Stella and Gerry 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, forcing them to confront their future.
