Standby

In a world where second chances are rare, Alan (Gleeson) discovers an opportunity to revisit his past and potentially find happiness in an unexpected way. After being left at the altar and losing his job, he finds himself working as a part-time tourist advisor at Dublin Airport alongside his mother. Here, fate brings him face-to-face with Alice (Paré), his first love from eight years ago who's now on standby for a flight back to New York. Their past summer romance ended when Alan promised to reunite in the United States but never followed through. This time, Alan persuades a hesitant Alice to spend one more night in Dublin. As their evening unfolds, it becomes clear that they may have grown even more compatible than before; however, the clock is ticking as both their lives are set to move forward with their original plans. Exploring themes of love, second chances, and personal growth, this film delves into whether destiny has a way of bringing people together in the most surprising ways.
