Elizabeth and Matt should have it made. She's an Oscar-winning American actress and he's an English book editor. The only problem is, both of them are middle-aged in industries that prize youth and innovation. Unemployed in London, the married pair desperately try to care about the latest fads in film and writing. But somehow the Tarantino-esque reinvention of the costume drama and new literary genres like torture-porn endurance-horror fail to fascinate them... Old friend and top agent Leon Blakely urges the couple to keep at it, even if he'll never find them quite as exciting as the latest teenage reality TV wonder!
