Synopsis

After committing an unspecified act of violence, a young prostitute, frightened and desperate, turns to her mini-cab driver for help. A relaxed but cautious man he wants to help out but is concerned about the risks involved. The ending is deliberately open-ended and the audience can only speculate about the final outcome.   Killing time is a dark, tense, noirish encounter about divided loyalties, morality, race and unspoken desire between two very different individuals struggling to survive on the margins of society. Compelling, stylish and intriguing, killing time is an unusual take on the comfort of strangers.

Synopsis

Hull 1955; Philip Larkin arrives at Hull University to take up the post of Head Librarian. His love affair with Monica Jones is already five years old and, with the publication of The Less Deceived, he is about to be catapulted into the public eye. But while Monica enjoys the reflected glory of their relationship, Larkin is terrified of the extra commitment she wants. In response, he begins a secret affair with one of his library staff, Maeve Brennan. While this relationship draws form Larkin some of his most romantic insights, it flounders on Maeve's Catholic faith; she doesn't believe in sex before marriage. And marriage is something Larkin cannot face.   Over the next fifteen years Larkin juggles Maeve and Monica, all the time playing faithful son to his mother Eva, while writing some of his greatest poems. But with Eva's death and the ending of his relationship with Maeve, the poems dry up. Not even a brief affair with his loyal secretary Betty provides any inspiration. Having sacrificed his life for his writing, Larkin is left with nothing. Until, haunted by impending death and his failed talent, Larkin in old age returns to his soul mate Monica.
