Normal People (2020)

Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones fall in and out of love in this erotic lockdown hit

Connell and Marianne meet at school, where they embark on a ionate and secret relationship to avoid the judgement of their peers. Connell is handsome and popular, whereas Marianne is confrontational and lonely. The two drift apart and find each other again at Trinity College, where they reignite their romance in public – but the couple struggle to communicate how much they care for each other, and they find themselves in a long-term, on-off relationship that remains fervent no matter their distance from one another.
