Only You
A couple falters under the intense emotional and physical strain of IVF treatment in writer-director Harry Wootliff's tenderly observed drama. On New Year's Eve in Glasgow city centre, 35-year-old office worker Elena (Laia Costa) celebrates with work colleagues. At the end of the booze-soaked night, she shares a cab with handsome 26-year-old marine biology student and DJ, Jake (Josh O'Connor). There is a palpable spark of attraction between the strangers and they spend the night together at Elena's flat. A one-night stand develops into a long-term relationship - albeit with Elena keeping secret her age - and the couple moves in together. Eventually, Elena broaches the subject of children and her ticking biological clock, and she is thrilled when Jake agrees they should try to conceive. Unfortunately, their best efforts end in crushing disappointment and Elena and Jake undergo a course of expensive IVF treatment. Elena's burning desire to nurture new life puts a strain on the relationship and as fissures appear, Jake seeks reassurance from his widowed father (Peter Wight).
