Showtimes February 27 - March 5:

Seeking a reprieve from their day-to-day lives, Stella (Lesley Manville) gifts her husband, Gerry (Ciarán Hinds), a spontaneous trip to the Netherlands. As their long weekend progresses and their lives leave the space of routine, they begin to realize that their seemingly easy relationship may hide some deep uncertainties. Stella, for one, has an agenda for the trip that goes beyond visits to Anne Frank’s house and the Rijksmuseum, while the enforced intimacy of time away from home will shine an unforgiving light on a furtive habit that is coming to saturate Gerry’s every thought. As the film unfolds, the midwinter break of the title turns out to refer not only to the couple’s long weekend in Amsterdam, but to the possibility of a rupture between them, as well as to the more general growth into their senior years. With unflinching attention to the textural detail of minute-by-minute existence, Midwinter Break “builds into a profound exploration of the biggest themes in both public and private life: faith, politics and fanaticism; love and loneliness; joint compromise and individual purpose” – The Guardian.
