The film explores the romantic past and emotional present of Ann Grant (Vanessa Redgrave) and her daughters.

Incredibly romantic and deeply moving, EVENING is a film about the moments in life that defines ones future. It is about decisions made at an impulse that effect a lifetime, and most of all it is about true love and knowing when it finds you. The film has echoes of classics such as The Bridges of Madison County and The Notebook with more than a passing nod to The Way We Were.
