This film is an exploration of two characters, and often you might find yourself asking 'what if?' throughout the film.

A nice exploration of two people's worlds connecting, and a nice easy film to watch. But not for those who like a big bang at the end!
A middle-aged man and a woman - Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter - meet at a wedding. He's flirtatious. She plays along. Her husband is a cardiologist back in London.
