Hope Gap
The intimate story of HOPE GAP charts the life of Grace, shocked to learn her husband is leaving her for another after 29 years of marriage. With Annette Bening and Bill Nighy.
Grace and Edward live in a small seaside town near a cove under the cliffs called Hope Gap. When their son Jamie comes to visit for the weekend, Edward informs him that he plans to leave Grace, that same day.
HOPE GAP tracks the unravelling of three lives, through stages of shock, disbelief and anger, to a resolution, of sorts. It’s tender, it’s funny and above all, true. There are no easy answers, no simple paths to redemption, but in the end, it is a story of survival.
William Nicholson, UK, 2019, 101 min. English spoken, Dutch subtitles.
With Annette Bening, Bill Nighy, Josh O'Connor, Aiysha Hart, Ryan McKen.
