THE LAST BUS (12A)
A widower unearths his future by returning to the past in a bittersweet drama directed by Gilles MacKinnon.
Now in his late 80s, Tom (Timothy Spall) lives in John O’Groats, Scotland, where his beloved wife Mary (Phyllis Logan) has recently passed away. The loss unleashes a flood of memories, including the couple’s first meeting at Land’s End, and Tom hatches a harebrained plan to travel the length of the UK using his free bus pass.
His small suitcase contains Mary’s ashes and as he leaves John O’Groats in the rear-view mirror, Tom meets colourful characters who shepherd him towards his destination as his odyssey captures the public’s imagination.
