Angol
Alone, directionless, and 30-something in the big city, this is a story about loss, confusion, anger, vulnerability, resentment, jealousy, inadequacy, depression, and hopelessness. It is a love story. The Year She Left takes an irreverent, though not entirely unsympathetic, look at the question: When you discover that your life isn't going to work out as planned, how do you make plans for the rest of it? Those left to answer it are Stuart Lewis, a man in his early 30s who finds himself alone and homeless after finding out that his fiance doesn't love him anymore, and Kate Mackenzie, a woman of a similar age in similar circumstances, though she is the one who breaks it off with her boyfriend. Told over the course of one year and through the experiences of Kate, Stuart, and an eclectic group of their friends, colleagues, and relations, The Year She Left explores with humour and a critical eye the motives of those who want to change themselves and the ability that they have to do so.
