MIDDLE AGE SPREAD
Synopsis:
Colin is the deputy principal of a local high school who reluctantly applies for the principal's job on the latter's retirement. Having taken up jogging to combat a spreading waistline, he meets Judy, a relationship that gradually becomes an affair. Colin's wife, Elizabeth arranges a dinner party and unknowingly invites Colin's mistress and as the wine bottles empty and polite conversation disintegrates, regrets and revelations spill over.
