Director: Polly Findlay

90 mins, 2026, UK-Netherlands, Digital, F-Rated

Stella (Lesley Manville) and Gerry’s (Ciarán Hinds) titular sojourn to Amsterdam becomes an unexpected emotional reckoning for the long-married, retired couple as old memories and unresolved tensions come to the surface, forcing them to confront their relationship, faith, and the legacy of past traumas. Established theatre director Polly Findlay makes an impressive directorial debut with this moving and insightful adaptation of Northern Irish writer Bernard MacLaverty’s acclaimed novel.

There will be Open Captioned screenings at 16.10 on Saturday 21st, and 18.45 on Wednesday 25th.
