The Missed Lives of Max and Judy (2/2)

How long can a young couple destined to be lovers evade their fate? A mind-bending, time-warping romcom starring Alison Steadman.

Max and Judy are 18 when they first meet during a University lecture. They become friends. Just friends. And they meet up for chicken shop dates to discuss their failed relationships with other people.

But missed opportunities and bad timing prevent anything more. When it looks like things might get serious, a misunderstanding drives them apart. Both devastated they each try to find a way to get over their heartbreak quickly - by wishing it away.

They wake the next morning to find themselves 50 years older, having lived full lives completely separately.
