- Synopsis
- Eight years after a passionate teenage romance, Jake and Fi are unexpectedly reunited at the wake of a close friend. Both stunned by the encounter—Fi now engaged, Jake freshly returned from abroad—they are suddenly left alone together in a London flat, one rainy evening. As they navigate the quiet tension of memory and longing, their conversation meanders from the mundane to the profound: love, loss, ambition, and the quiet ache of paths not taken. Slowly, beneath the surface of polite reminiscence, an old spark reignites—not with the fire of youth, but with the deeper resonance of two people who never truly let go. In just one night, they confront the enduring power of first love, and the painful, beautiful truth that some connections never truly fade.
