An aging man tries to reconcile fateful decisions of decades past in Ritesh Batra’s (The Lunchbox) imaginative adaptation of Julian Barnes’s 2011 Booker-winning novel which ruminates upon the fallibility of memory, self-deception and the desire for closure.

Tony Webster (Jim Broadbent) is a semi-retired divorcee who manages a small vintage camera shop specialising in Leicas. He receives a vague yet intriguing letter from Sarah, the mother of his old university flame Veronica, indicating that he has been bequeathed some undefined personal affects; upon learning that said items include a diary, he tracks down and reconnects with Veronica (Charlotte Rampling) who for similarly unclear reasons is withholding information about the mysterious diary which Tony believes is intended for him.
