Synopsis
Lawrence, a shy, civil servant, meets the mysterious Gina in a cafe and develops a life-changing relationship with her. As part of the British delegation to the G8 Summit in Iceland, Lawrence invites Gina along for a romantic getaway. As world issues are being debated by international leaders and the problem of extreme poverty is sidelined, Lawrence and Gina are confronted with an emotional conflict between personal conviction and professional obligation.
