Bealtaine Film Club: Living

(Dir: Oliver Hermanus / UK, Japan / 2022 / 102 mins)

Thursday 25th May, 1pm

Starring: Bill Nighy, Aimee Lou Wood, Tom Burke

Mr Williams (Bill Nighy) is a diligent but rather dour bureaucrat, working in a council in post-war London. One day, he’s given a devastating prognosis: he only has a few months left to live. Stunned by the news, he abandons his usual routine. Chance encounters with a rebellious writer and a youthful colleague help Mr Williams discover a whole new perspective on both his life and work.

Admission: free, booking advised.

Presented as part of Bealtaine, Ireland’s national festival which celebrates the arts and creativity as we age. The festival is run by Age & Opportunity, the leading national development organisation working to enable the best possible quality of life for us all as we age.
