Only You (15) + ScreenTalk with director Harry Wootliff

Preview screening

,Barbican Cinema 3
Laia Costa and Josh O'Connor in Only You by Harry Wootliff

We're delighted to welcome director Harry Wootliff to introduce her new film.

Elena (Laia Costa), 35, and Jake (Josh O'Connor), 26, meet by chance on New Years Eve, fighting for the same taxi. But, instead of going their separate ways after a shared ride, they start a passionate relationship. Within weeks they are living together, and not long after they talk about starting a family.

But, as the seasons pass, reality catches up with them. Falling in love was the easy part, but can they remain in love when life doesn’t give them everything they hoped for? This unconventional romance of endurance was nominated in the First Feature category at 2018's BFI London Film Festival.

Director Harry Wootliff will be in conversation with Fertility Fest's Jessica Hepburn.
