Plot

When Sarah Hopson (Valerie Edmond) discovers she has a brain tumour, she leaves her successful high-rise lifestyle in New York City and returns to her hometown in the Scottish Borders, where she left her widowed father Frank (James Cosmo) and her childhood sweetheart Sam (Gerard Butler) to pursue a career in the United States seven years ago. Upon arriving Sarah finds out that Sam, a restaurant owner, is now happily married to Charlotte (Valerie Gogan). This, however, does not stop her from asking the couple a last favour – which is to let Sarah spend her remaining time in the company of the only man she has ever loved.

Trivia

  • Despite its strong subject matter and an all-Scottish cast, One More Kiss was not included in the programme of the Edinburgh International Film Festival. It held its British premiere at the London Film Festival instead.[2]
  • Jean did not deliberately pick an all-Scottish cast.[1]
  • An army of local people volunteered as extras, and the Mayor of Berwick gave up his parking space for the production vehicle.[1]
