An inspiration to a new generation of filmmakers, the legendary One Life Stand is loved by audiences and critics alike. The best reviewed British independent film of 2000 and a breakthrough debut for May Miles Thomas, the movie is widely regarded as the landmark UK digital feature.

Photographed in beautiful monochrome, One Life Stand stars the extraordinary Maureen Carr as Trise, a struggling single mother whose delusional love for her slacker son, John Paul, propels him into becoming a male escort. But when he falls for a woman older than Trise, she pulls no punches in trying to seduce him back.

One Life Stand is a strange and unsettling story of our times, a journey into a world where decent people do indecent things just to get by. Described as 'a lyrical masterpiece' for its originality and purity of storytelling, One Life Stand is that rarest of things - a movie made for its own sake.
