BBC romantic drama written by Richard Curtis and starring Bill Nighy and Kelly MacDonald. Lawrence (Nighy) is a middle-aged civil servant who meets a mysterious young girl called Gina (Macdonald) in a caf near Downing Street. As the mismatched couple start to fall in love, Lawrence invites Gina to the G8 summit meeting in Reykjavik, where he is joining the British delegation. While the politicians argue, the central goals of eliminating global poverty are sidelined, and Lawrence and Gina find their relationship becoming intertwined with the progress of the summit. Also featuring performances from Corin Redgrave and Ken Stott.Synopsis
Lawrence (Bill Nighy) works for the Chancellor of the Exchequer and barely has time to lace his own shoes let alone conduct a relationship. Then he meets Gina (Kelly Macdonald), a pretty, instinctively reserved but highly enigmatic girl, in a London cafe. A friendship develops between the two, but both, consumed by years of loneliness are guarded.
Gina accompanies Lawrence to the G8 summit in Reykjavik where she surprises herself and shocks everyone else by challenging the conference’s established agenda on global poverty. Lawrence is then forced to make an impossible decision – choose between the girl who has given him a new reason to live or the job he has devoted his life to. What will he decide and will the world leaders at the summit take notice of the girl from the cafe?
