Simultaneously, we witness the charmingly audacious Noel (Tom Hardy) as he grapples with the harsh realities of romantic rejection, often met with nothing but cruelty from the opposite sex.

Meanwhile, we see the bittersweet reunion of Eddie (Benjamin Whitrow) and Iris (Dame Eileen Atkins); their paths cross through a serendipitous mix-up, only for them to discover that they were once prospective partners, their love stories having veered off in different directions many decades ago.
