Metroland (1997)

In the calm, predictable rhythm of Chris's life, a sudden upheaval arrives in the form of his long-lost friend Toni, reemerging in London after a decade of absence, carrying an air of chaos and uncertainty with him. This unexpected reconnection thrusts Chris into a whirlpool of memories from his youthful days as a photographer in Paris. A time when he reveled in a passionate affair with the vivacious Annick, and where he first stumbled into love with his now-wife, Marion. Engulfed by the echoes of his past, Chris finds himself questioning the tranquil monotony of his current existence, as Toni's influence lures him towards their former life of unbridled hedonism - a life brimming with sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. This pressure begins to cast a shadow over his marriage as doubts brew within him. He becomes suspicious of Marion's relationship with Toni, despite her palpable dislike for his friend. As the past and present collide, Chris stands at a crossroads. He is torn between the tempting call of his reckless past and the sobering reality of his present life. An inevitable confrontation looms, forcing Chris to choose between following Toni back into their carefree past, or facing the stark reality of his existence and holding on to his life with Marion.
