While planning a party to celebrate her 45th wedding anniversary, Kate Mercer’s husband Geoff (Tom Courtenay) receives a letter containing news that the body of his first love has been discovered, frozen and preserved in the icy glaciers of the Swiss Alps.
Kate, played by Charlotte Rampling (nominated for an Academy Award for the role), becomes increasingly concerned by Geoff’s preoccupation with the letter and the startling revelations about his former life. As their anniversary gets closer, and they delve further into the past, their future is left in question.
Anchored by sensational performances, 45 Years is an intimate, moving and beautiful portrait of a marriage shaken to its core by things left unspoken.
