You, Me and The Movies

**He only speaks in movie references but they make her remember

_everything..._**

After a marriage which threatened her entire sense of self, Arden Hall is

divorced, doing a lacklustre job and living a quiet, rather unexciting life.

But one day, visiting a friend in a London hospital, she suddenly re-

encounters her former lover from thirty years ago, charismatic Film Studies

lecturer, Mac Bartley-Thomas, who is lying in a bed on the same ward.

Suffering from a brain injury and unable to converse, all Mac can utter is

short references to the famous films he and Arden once watched together, back

when she was a student and they conducted their affair: _Casablanca, Bonnie

and Clyde_ , _Some Like It Hot_ and more...

These movies spark both bittersweet memories of their passionate relationship

and the potential for a more reflective Arden to finally fulfil the promise of

her younger self. And in the course of her visits to Mac, she starts to

reconnect with the world in a way that she didn’t think was possible...
