    Love Me Till Monday follows the story of an English girl trying to find love between the office and her home life. The film looks at how a generation of twenty-something's go in search of love. They don't 'date' or 'grab a coffee' or walk romantically along the Seine in perfectly cut trench coats. They don't hold tight to a handsome man on the back of a Vespa. They dance ironically in circles drink far too much and snog a friend. They eat cheesy chips or cold quiche at 3am. It is a film that lies somewhere between Downton and TOWIE between The City and the countryside between ASBO and PhD. Love Me Till Monday is a story about a 25-year-old middle-middle-class English girl and everything she wants and deserves. A film for the funny ugly and slightly magical English.
