A chance meeting between two happily married strangers. Two people who met by accident… and fell in love. David Lean and Noël Coward’s bittersweet romance celebrates its landmark 80th anniversary! 

Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) accidentally meets Alex Harvey (Trevor Howard) at a railway station on her way home from a neighbouring town. Both married with children, the pair begin to question their previously happy home lives when their chance encounter turns into a regular acquaintance and their initial friendship becomes a burgeoning attraction.
