Plot Summary
TOM SANGER, 33, has just been made
redundant from what he thought was a dream
job in a record company marketing
department. But before he can leave, fate
intervenes and Tom finds himself trapped in a
lift with none other than the consultant who
lost him his job. Tom would really love to hate
her... the trouble is the consultant is female,
French, and beautiful.
Feisty and strong-willed, ELOISE, 27, is uncomfortable being forcibly confined with
someone she's had sacked. But Tom's mildly juvenile attitude to their
predicament helps her hide the embarrassment under a mask of contempt.
Secretly, she's vulnerable, claustrophobic, and a little bit attracted to Tom despite
his rough edges. As the temperature in the lift begins to rise in the sweltering
summer heat, so do the tempers. Tom and Eloise seesaw between war and truce,
but eventually hostilities subside as mutual attraction takes hold.
Flash forward... five years later. Tom and
Eloise meet on London’s South Bank for
the last time. They’ve had a four-year
relationship which broke up six months
ago. Tom says he’s meeting her to say
goodbye – Eloise is moving back to France
and a seemingly perfect new life with a
perfect new fiancé.
Against the backdrop of a crisp Christmas
evening, Tom and Eloise amble towards the
train station and reminisce about their four
years together. But as the pair rake over
the remains of their relationship, old
memories evoke feelings that both have
tried to squash. Subtly they interrogate
each other's true motives for this final
meeting. Are there still shared feelings? Is
Eloise's life as perfect as she makes out?
And does Tom have a hidden agenda? If so, he has just 45 minutes to win Eloise
back before she gets on her train and is gone forever. Is this new spark strong
enough to rekindle the embers of their relationship?
