Sliding Doors
What if one split second sent your life in two completely different directions?
Directed by Peter Howitt
Produced by Intermedia Films, Mirage Enterprises
A romantic, playful exploration of fate and choice that splits one woman's life into two parallel timelines to ask whether destiny or chance shapes our happiness.
Helen, a London ad executive, is fired from her job and rushes out to catch a train, but, as she runs down, her life suddenly splits off. In one version she catches the train; in the second, she misses it. Her whole life changes in that one second, and the rest of the film depicts what happens in each scenario.
