“There is a debt to pay, and I have been looking for a way to pay it…” What happened to them all those years ago? Focus Features has revealed an official trailer for a film titled Winter breakadapted from the book of the same name written by Irish author Bernard MacLaverty. “A day they cannot forget. A truth they cannot escape.” Winter break is a moving meditation on faith, commitment, and the enduring power of love, as a longtime couple takes a life-changing trip to Amsterdam. Lesley Manville And Ciaran Hinds Star Stella & Gerry, a retired couple whose winter trip to Amsterdam awakens troubled memories of their past. Obviously these memories are about the Troubles in Ireland and what happened at the time. The cast also includes Julie Lambert And Ed Sayer as younger versions of Stella and Gerry in flashbacks.
