Quotes:
« Williams: I don't have time to get angry.
»
« Williams: I wonder if you ever stop on the way home and watch the children playing. In the street, or in the yard. And when the time comes and their mothers call them in, they're often reluctant. They, they get a little contrary. But that's as it should be. Far better than to be the child you occasionally see, he's sitting by himself in the corner not taking part, not happy, not unhappy. Merely waiting for his mother to call him in. I've become afraid that I might end up like that child. And I so very much do not wish to do so.

« Williams: We can keep it here for now. It will do no harm.

Plots:
In 1950s London, a humorless bureaucrat decides to take time off work to experience life after receiving a grim diagnosis.
Overwhelmed at work and lonely at home, a council bureaucrat’s life takes a heartbreaking turn when a medical diagnosis tells him his time is short. Influenced by a local decadent and a vibrant woman, he continues to search for meaning until a simple revelation gives him a purpose to create a legacy for the next generation.
London, 1953. Having sacrificed the best years of his uneventful life toiling away at Kafkaesque, soul-draining London County Council, buttoned-up civil servant Mr Williams realises there’s no time for regrets. And as retirement looms, the unsightly, irrevocable truth forces the melancholic English gentleman into a tardive revaluation of his mundane concerns. Because time is free, but it flies like an arrow. In the end, we all have one life to live. The question is, can we make it count?
