Withnail & I

1969. Fellow struggling actors Withnail "+ I" (whose name, unspoken, is Marwood) share a flat in Camden Town, London, living in squalor in they existing in inertia in having given up. With Withnail the angry one in feeling the world against him and always protecting his own hide often at Marwood's expense and Marwood the anxious one, they don't have so much a friendship as they do a relationship based on co-dependency. Wanting a change, they decide to ask Withnail's flamboyantly gay Uncle Monty if they can use his country cottage. Withnail ends up considering this sojourn they going on holiday "by mistake" in they facing a whole new set of challenges in the country largely in being ill-prepared for rural living, especially in inclement weather, but also due to what Withnail considers a necessary lie for them to be able to use the cottage, that lie about which Marwood only learns with an unexpected visitor. Through this dysfunction that exists between the two, there may be only one thing that can break their bond.
