Alice and Max attended the same college but hardly spoke to each other until the last Christmas. Both are aiming for careers in theatre and film, but it’s tough. Alice takes on a side job at a catering company, and it turns out that the company is run by Max’s sister, with Max often helping out around Christmas. This way, they meet every year during the holidays and develop a friendship, even though their differing ambitions prevent it from turning into anything more, despite the connection between them. This continues over five years as their careers experience ups and downs.
I am generally sceptical of these actions where they meet once a year and yet develop something between them. However, this one holds up fairly well.
