Julie is a young film student living in London. She comes from a privileged background and wants to make a film about a young boy and his mother in a much poorer part of the city. Between script pitches and camera setups, Julie hosts a film-school cohort party where she meets a mysterious man named Anthony. A few days later, Anthony invites Julie to a tea room and asks to stay with her for a few days. Thus begins Julie’s first serious love affair. Ignoring her cohort and borrowing large amounts of money from her parents, Julie surrenders to the relationship and prioritizes Anthony’s needs.
