In 1950s London, a humorless bureaucrat decides to take time off work to experience life after receiving a grim diagnosis.
He had always been a stickler for rules and regulations, never once deviating from the strict routine he had set for himself. But now, faced with the reality of his mortality, he realized that he had been living his life all wrong.
As he immersed himself in the city’s culture, he felt a newfound sense of freedom and joy that he had never experienced before. He laughed more, smiled more, and felt more alive than ever.
It was during this time that he met a free-spirited woman who showed him how to truly live life to the fullest. They travelled together, danced together, and shared a deep connection that he had never felt before.
As his sabbatical came to an end, he knew that he could never go back to the life he had been living. He had discovered a new lease on life, and he was determined to make the most of it. He returned to work with a new perspective, determined to enjoy every moment and live life on his own terms.
