| Summary |
What makes - or breaks - a relationship? Seven British couples of varying ages, backgrounds, races and religions, drop their guard and talk with remarkable openness about what they feel for each other as they lie together in bed.There are revelations and surprises as candid conversations lead to reignited love and to disagreements as relationships start to flounder and the truth comes out...The British in Bed opens with the couples reflecting on the secrets of their relationships - a romantic first encounter, a lively sex life - but as the film progresses the relationships open up, unravel and move forward with extraordinary twists and developments.19-year-old Tariro struggles with the word 'love' at the start of the film and he and his pregnant teenage girlfriend Khadijah, confess to bitter arguments.53-year-old Jessica looks back on nearly three decades of marriage with a sharp and acerbic disappointment and confesses to her husband Chris that she doesn't feel attractive anymore.48-year-old Rumy - clearly at the end of her tether with her much older husband, Peter - confronts him about his 'infidelity' with a woman who came to give him a massage.But the stars of the show have to be Jewish couple - 84-year-old Alf and his 74-year-old wife Miriam who goad and taunt each other through the course of the film.Shining the light on one of the most intimate subjects we never discuss, can these couples' frank insights teach us all a little something about relationships?PRODUCTION DETAILS:Producer/Director: Philippa Robinson; Executive Producer: Nicky Mirsky.
