Only in cinemas from 24 October 2019
We have 10 double in-season passes thanks to Umbrella Entertainment.
In 1953, five year old Robert (Daniel Berini) and newborn Angela (Antoniette Iesue) are promised in marriage by their fathers, Sal (Paul Mercurio) and Joe. Against the misgivings of Angela’s mother (Tina Arena), Sal is insistent that he must uphold his promise to Joe – a connected man. Fast forward to 1974, and Angela is now a beautiful, intelligent and modern lady whose aspirations lie well beyond the family pastry shop. Robert, now 25, has just returned home from studying law abroad at Oxford. Despite changing times, fading traditions and Angela’s love for another man, she is still expected to marry Robert. As a web of secrets, lies and revelations surface, it teaches everyone involved that love, like life, can never be perfectly arranged.
