Timothy Spall is The Man, and Natascha McElhone is The Woman

In a land not so faraway, a woman lives in a snow-smothered cottage. She wraps herself in a dozen coats, and hides beneath a dozen towering hats; only her sad eyes are visible. Shunned as an oddity by everyone except her neighbour, a small, quiet man with a mouth full of astoundingly ugly teeth, the woman is stuck in her very own Groundhog Day. Will anyone melt away the misery and save her from a decidedly frosty fate? A fairy tale for people who don’t really believe in fairy tales.
