Love is thicker than Water

SYNOPSIS

A tale as old as time, or at least as old as Shakespeare: star-crossed lovers, bound by passion, pulled apart by religion, culture and a broken jar of peanut butter. Arthur and Vida, young Londoners tumbling headlong into all-consuming love. But Vida’s upper-middle class, Jewish intellectual upbringing clashes with Arthur’s Welsh, working-class roots. Whimsical animated interludes and a soulful folk score add another level of buoyancy to this memorable and deeply relatable romance.
