Based on the acclaimed novel, Midwinter Break is a stirring meditation on faith, commitment, and the enduring power of love, as a longtime couple takes a life-changing trip to Amsterdam.

Established theatre director Polly Findlay makes an impressive directorial debut with this adaptation of Bernard MacLaverty’s novel of the same name, featuring finely calibrated performances from Oscar nominees Lesley Manville (Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris) and Ciarán Hinds (Belfast).

This carefully weighted drama follows retirees Stella and Gerry on a trip to Amsterdam at a crunch point in their marriage. Their city break has the potential to become something much more life-changing as the pair reflect on the past, their problems in the present, and consider their future together.
