Plot 

The film’s protagonist is Annie, played by Rose Byrne, who resides in a quiet seaside town in England and works as a museum curator.

Duncan is a die-hard fan of an American musician named Tucker, played by Ethan Hawke. Annie’s lack of interest in Tucker makes Duncan angry because she doesn’t have the same taste in music as him. When Annie writes a negative review about one of Tucker’s song, Annie and Tucker strike up a conversation over email. Duncan ends up cheating on Annie with a co-worker and Annie ends their relationship. Through their conversations, Tucker tells Annie about his messy life as he has multiple children with different women.
