A May-December comedy becomes a political drama. Lawrence, a spindly, self-effacing civil servant, is a senior researcher for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, preparing for a G-8 summit that will determine the scope of the world's effort to reduce extreme poverty. In a crowded caf, he chats awkwardly with Gina, a young Scot with time on her hands. They share a couple of meals, and he invites her to accompany him to the summit in Reykjavk. Once there, as romance blooms, Gina's past, Lawrence's work and proclivity to compromise, and the presence of ministers and presidents spur her to act.

I first saw this movie on ABC, and I remember it vividly despite this being more than 5 years ago. This was also my first introduction to Bill Nighy. The two main characters play out a beautifully captured and timed story that appreciates the little things, and makes you think deeply about the big things. I love this movie so much and I highly recommend.
