Greenwich Mean Time

Synopsis

When one of four close friends has a terrible accident, they are forced to confront their lives and hopes for the future. Dealing directly and intimately with their emotions and motivations, Greenwich Mean Time has a rare quality of honesty and punch, that fearlessly charts their path to adulthood as life works its complex magic upon them.


Greenwich Mean Time is a strong, uncompromising journey into some dark emotions, but essentially an uplifting film that stands clearly as an endorsement of life and love. It's a tale of courage in the face of adversity.


This is a story for the millennial generation, it's a story about life.
