My Romantic History is a brand new comedy about love, loss and laminating machines.
Office romances are tricky. One moment you are colleagues, then a quick grope after Friday night drinks and suddenly you are in a relationship. When Tom and Amy get together after an office social, they find themselves living in each other’s pockets. But it is not their lack of chemistry that is the problem: it is that neither of them can quite get over their childhood sweethearts.
