Someone Else

Synopsis

Thirtysomething photographer David has for some time been happily dating Lisa, but increasingly he's dreaming of Nina, a tempestuous free spirit who seems to represent everything his loving, stable girlfriend is not. So what's a man to do? A funny, sad and honest look at the male gender's seemingly infinite capacity for self-deception.
 
"A small pearl in the gritty ocean of indie Brit grunge, Someone Else is a finely scripted, classily played relationships movie for a connoisseur audience. " (Variety)
