Life of Riley

In Yorkshire, three couples—Kathryn and Colin, Tamara and Jack, Monica and Simeon—are shattered by the news that their mutual friend George Riley is fatally ill and has only a few months left. Thinking how best to help him, they invite him to join their amateur dramatic group, but rehearsals bring their past histories to the surface. When George decides to have a last holiday in Tenerife, each of the women wants to accompany him, and their partners are in consternation. Finally, they gather at George's funeral. Sabine Azéma plays Kathryn, Hippolyte Girardot plays Colin, Caroline Silhol plays Tamara, Michel Vuillermoz plays Jack, Sandrine Kiberlain plays Monica, and André Dussollier plays Simeon. The film is a comedy-drama that explores the complexities of friendship and relationships as the friends navigate their past histories and present circumstances.
