40 (2003)

EndedScripted showDrama

The cliché has it that life begins at forty. It doesn't, of course. It starts much earlier than that! In this new three-part drama, seven 40-year-olds are drawn together by a disturbing school reunion. Long-standing sexual tensions and emotional conflicts come to a head as the surreal secrets of apparently normal lives are revealed. Beneath the veneer of a successful career simmers a life of quiet desperation, behind the closed doors of a happy marriage lies a disordered world of sordid sexual dysfunction. Acting as a catalyst, the reunion forces the seven friends into a re-evaluation of their past and the present - and brings about an unexpected future.
