Christmas is a time for contemplation as well as an excuse to celebrate, and this touching film for the British Heart Foundation delves into the tender feelings buried beneath the tinsel. The piece revolves around a couple whose day begins as a bit of a festive fiasco. Burned turkey, early relatives, and a subsequent late-night journey to drop everyone home add complications to the big event, but there's a feeling of warmth and genuine affection running beneath the chaos. As a spot of teary washing up and a thoughtful glimpse of the man's chest scar reveals, the day almost didn't happen at all. Director Molly Burdett gently teases out the film's emotional heart, with a contemplative voiceover bringing further poignancy to the story within a story. It's a moving reminder of the rippling impact the advertised charity's work has on people's lives, and encourages viewers to dig deep even during difficult times.
