Onwards and Sideways is a film about two strangers who, on the same morning, are each confronted with a diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease. Tony Evans is a deputy head of a primary school, and Emma Kent is a musician, composer and single mother of two daughters, and neither knows the other until a startling encounter changes the course of their lives. It is the story of a friendship that unfolds unexpectedly, one of humour and emotion, of challenge and bravado, of music and dance, transcending the assumptions of a little understood condition. The drama was directed by John Madden and stars Rhys Ifans, Laura Linney, Monica Dolan and Rory Kinnear.
