couple. Medical counsellor Gerri (Ruth Sheen) is happily married to Tom (Jim Broadbent). The film follows Gerri over the course
of the year as she opens her home and heart to her emotionally needy colleague Mary (Lesley Manville), counsels a chronic
insomniac (Imelda Staunton), spends time on her allotment with Tom and plays host to their 30-year-old lawyer son Joe (Oliver
Maltman) and his wife and baby.
