Synopsis
1953. London is still in the process of rebuilding after World War II. Williams, a civil servant, commutes to work today in the same car on the same train. He is a so-called "stiff" British gentleman, dressed in a pin-striped suit and a bowler hat pulled deep over his eyes. He works in the citizen section of a government office, and is busy with paperwork every day while being hated by his subordinates. At home, he felt alone and his life felt empty and meaningless. One day, he is diagnosed with cancer by a doctor and learns that he only has six months to live. He bids farewell to the days when he was just a cog and begins to reevaluate his life. Trying to live a fulfilling life before it's too late. He gives up his job and goes to a seaside resort to drink and have fun, but it doesn't feel right. The disease is eating away at his body... He returns to London and meets Margaret, who used to work for him. She is now full of vitality and wants to test her strength in society. He was attracted to her, and while spending some time with her, he decided to take a new step, as if he had received a revelation. That step will eventually change the people around her who were once indifferent.
