Adam, a screenwriter living in London, discovers in his childhood home his long-dead parents looking the same as they did 30 years ago, after an encounter with his neighbour Harry.[1]
Filming had begun in the United Kingdom by 30 June 2022, when the film and the principal cast were announced.[2][3] The announcement attracted inquiries on social media as to whether the plot involves a romance between Scott and Mescal's characters. The Daily Beast found this likely since Mescal's character corresponds to a woman who has a romance with the protagonist in the original novel, and since Haigh has previously directed acclaimed gay-themed works.[4]
