MIDWINTER BREAK is a stirring meditation on faith, commitment, and the enduring power of love, as a longtime couple takes a life-changing trip to Amsterdam. Retired long-time couple Stella and Gerry (Academy Award� nominees Lesley Manville and Ciar�n Hinds) travel from their home in Glasgow to Amsterdam for an impromptu holiday. Traversing the beautiful European city, they find themselves freed from the staid routines that have come to define their lives.

After so much time and so many memories, long-held promises and deeply concealed wounds threaten to come to light and force them to confront their future.
