FRANKIE (short for Francesca) and GEORGE have been together since they were teenagers. Now both 30, it is time to re-examine their life together. LOVERS LANE is an intimate portrait of a relationship over the course of one weekend. We witness two contrasting days that reveal much about the characters and the nature of their long term relationship. Saturday is stifling and claustrophobic - the couple's house feels small, like a prison cell; the garden an exercise yard. Sunday sees the couple out walking on the South Downs - out in the open. Looking down on the town where they live, they are able to talk more freely and gain a new perspective.
