Synopsis

What do you do when you are made Best Man to someone you hardly know and end up falling for his bride to be?

Olly is a gifted writer - in fact a publisher has given him a healthy advance. Unfortunately he has also been struck with writer's block and frittered away said advance.

Then, out of the blue, James, Olly's best friend from university whom he has not seen for five years, gets in touch. James is getting married and he wants Olly to be his Best Man. Olly is immediately terrified about how he is going to write a speech when his writer's block is so extreme. His fears are briefly pushed aside at the engagement party when he meets the girl of his dreams - until James introduces her to Olly as Sarah, his bride to be!

Murray, Olly's best friend, can see only one course of action - Olly must break up the happy couple and make Sarah his own. However, Olly opts for plan 'b' - to simply avoid Sarah at all costs. But this is not as easy as it seems, especially with Murray working behind the scenes.
When Sarah unexpectedly calls off the wedding James begs Olly for his help. Olly is torn between his moral duty and his love for Sarah. He decides to come to his assistance and offers to help James write a letter expressing his feelings for Sarah. On reading Olly's words Sarah is smitten with James once more, but by now Olly has realised that James is not the man he thought he was.

Can Olly prevent Sarah marrying the wrong man?

From Fernando Meirelles, the Academy Award-nominated director of City of God, comes a gripping new film that sweeps audiences along one man’s emotional and global journey to uncover the truth behind a personal loss and a worldwide conspiracy.

In a remote area of Northern Kenya, the region’s most dedicated activist, the brilliant and passionate Tessa Quayle (Rachel Weisz), has been found brutally murdered. Tessa’s travelling companion, a local doctor, appears to have fled the scene, and the evidence points to a crime of passion. Sandy Woodrow (Danny Huston), Sir Bernard Pellegrin (Bill Nighy), and the other members of the British High Commission assume that Tessa’s widower, their mild-mannered and unambitious colleague Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes), will leave the matter to their discretion, but against their advice, Justin takes matters into his own hands to find his wife’s killers and avenge her untimely death.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz head the cast of the romantic thriller The Constant Gardener, adapted by Jeffrey Caine from the novel of the same name by John le Carré and filmed on location in Berlin, London, and Nairobi and numerous other parts of Kenya.
