I just got a sneak peek at a scene from Lesley Manville‘s new movie, Midwinter Break, and it’s really lovely. It shows her and Ciarán Hinds sharing a sweet, quiet moment together in a bar in Amsterdam. TopMob had the exclusive first look, and honestly, it’s a beautiful little snippet.
In the video, you can see actors Leslie Manville and Jason Hinds trying jenever, a traditional Dutch gin that’s often enjoyed after drinking beer.
Hinds observes his wife easily finish both her beer and gin, then tenderly holds his face and kisses him. This touching moment carries a hint of melancholy, foreshadowing the film’s deeper exploration of love, belief, and memories.
Midwinter Break is a film adapted from Bernard MacLaverty’s 2017 novel. It stars David Manville and Jim Hinds as Stella and Gerry, a married couple who go to Amsterdam hoping to reignite the spark in their long-term, but fading, relationship.
After a deeply upsetting event during the Troubles in Belfast, the couple left their home and eventually found a new life in Glasgow. There, they settled into the comfortable, everyday patterns of marriage.
