The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas is told through the lives of two extraordinary women. Vera Phillips and Dylan were teenage loves; fast forward ten years and the two reconnect in London. She’s working as a singer whilst he’s churning out scripts for government propaganda films and living off the last in a long line of infatuated women. The two former lovers feel the thunderbolt once more, but Thomas is now married to the adventurous Caitlin. Despite their love- rival status, the women form a surprising friendship. Caitlin indulges in her own infidelities, and recognises a similar adventurous spirit in her husband. But she knows his connection with Vera is something different, not to mention dangerous. Romantic turmoil continues in Vera’s life. She marries her devoted admirer William Killick, but she can’t deny the chemistry between herself and Dylan, nor does she want to - even if this means betraying Caitlin. When William is posted abroad, and a pregnant Vera returns to Wales with her married friends, the battle between her heart and head becomes more intense. William returns a changed man, but neither is Vera the carefree cabaret girl he married. Neighbourhood gossip fuels her husband’s jealousy towards his rival. Enraged, William stages a violent attack on Dylan – an attack that forces Vera to choose between the men in her life and the friend that she loves. Desire and guilt are complicated by love and friendship in this real- life tale set in beautiful London and the majestic Welsh countryside. Keira's Quotes"She [her mother] has written a very, very beautiful script. I'm very proud of her. It's about William Killick, who was tried for shooting Dylan Thomas. It's about a friendship group that implodes and how they get to the point where one tries to shoot another.""The pressure was really on her (Sharman Macdonald) to deliver a really great script and she totally, totally lived up to that - it's an absolutely beautiful work." "Mum wrote Caitlin for me to play, but it was Vera who really spoke to me. We ended up having quite an argument about it. Also, I think for Caitlin, you need a spirit that's much more like Sienna's. She's got that natural exuberance. I think it's wonderful that she brings a bit of herself into the character. I think I would have had to dig a little deeper if I'd played Caitlin. Maybe I didn't want to. And Vera's got that Welsh glamour, you know." "There's a carefree nature to the way they all lived against the bleak backdrop of war. The way they lived, and drank and had sex and all the rest of it, that does make for great drama." Trivia- Lindsay Lohan was originally attached to play the role of Caitlin, but dropped out shortly before filming began.- The film was previously titled "The best Time fo Our Lives" - Screenwriter Sharman Macdonald is Keira's mum. - Sharman Macdonald wrote the role of Caitlin with Keira in mind, but Keira chose to play Vera instead.
