About this movie

Starring Diane Keaton and Brendan Gleeson, HAMPSTEAD is a romantic comedy set in London's picturesque Hampstead Heath. Emily Walters (Keaton) can't quite focus on the things that need attention in her life, like her lovely old apartment, her diminishing finances or even her son. But this all changes when she meets the eccentric, unkempt Donald (Gleeson), a man who has lived harmoniously on the Heath for 17 years in a ramshackle hut. When property developers attempt to evict him, Emily steps up to his defence and soon finds that, despite his gruff exterior, there is something special about this gentle and unconventional man. Inspired by a true story, HAMPSTEAD is a warm, funny and life-affirming tale about two very different people who find unexpected love and discover that age is no barrier to second chances.
