An adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1952 film Ikiru transposed to 1950s London. Bill Nighy plays a buttoned-up bureaucrat named Williams, soft-spoken and particular, a creature of such habit that he has become defined by his routine instead of his emotions. When he receives a terminal diagnosis he realises that he must live to the full whatever life he has left. He meets a barfly named Sutherland (Tom Burke), with whom he has a boozy night that ends in an emotional song. He’s then drawn to the only woman in his office, Margaret Harris (Aimee Lou Wood), hoping she can show him the value of life before he’s unable to spend it. He learns that what really matters is the influence we have on others and what we leave behind.
