Fourteen Britons, first captured on film at age seven, return to the lens at forty-two. Every seven years, director Michael Apted revisits his subjects, weaving an unparalleled tapestry of human existence. Childhood aspirations collide with adult realities, early choices echo through decades, and the invisible hand of social class guides life's journey. This is more than a series of interviews; it's a profound meditation on time, choice, and the quiet accumulation of a life lived.
