Unrelated

Unrelated is a 2007 British drama film written and directed by Joanna Hogg, starring Kathryn Worth, Tom Hiddleston (in his feature film debut), Mary Roscoe, David Rintoul and Henry Lloyd-Hughes. It was released in the US on 20 February 2008. Plot Anna arrives in Tuscany to stay with her old school friend Verena and her family in their rented villa in San Fabiano. She was meant to be accompanied by her boyfriend, Alex, but tells Verena that he had to stay in London at the last minute to work. Later, it becomes apparent that Anna took the holiday to get some time away from him following a fight. The group is split effectively between the adults: Verena, her new husband Charlie, and Verena's cousin George; and the teenagers: Verena's children, Jack and Badge, Charlie's son, Archie, and George's son, Oakley. Trying to escape her relationship worries, Anna spends increasingly more time with the teenagers, upsetting Verena. She joins in with their mild hedonism, even promising not to tell their parents about their marijuana smoking and a drug and drink-fuelled accident in a borrowed car. Simmering sexual tension and flirtation between Anna and Oakley, the ringleader, comes to a head when she invites him to spend the night but he turns her down. Subsequently, Anna allows herself to grow apart from the teenagers and eventually tells Verena about the accident. The teenagers get into trouble and an argument between Oakley and his father turns physical. When Anna apologizes to Oakley for not telling him earlier, he tells her he has nothing to say to her: the teenagers also reject her. No longer fitting in with either age group, Anna leaves and checks into a hotel. Verena seeks her out and they reconcile after Anna reveals she cannot have children as she has reached menopause. She returns to the villa, is reconciled with the teenagers, and stays on for a few days after the others leave. In the final scene, we see Anna in a taxi to the airport on the phone to Alex, seemingly looking forward to seeing him again.
