Crush

Three close friends get together every week to share their saddest stories about looking for love. The women are Kate (Andie MacDowell), headmistress of a school; Janine (Imelda Staunton), a police chief; and Molly (Anna Chancellor), a doctor. All three are very successful and capable and involved in the community. They just can't seem to get the love thing right. When one of them finds love, the others are not as happy for her as they thought they would be. While she is attending a funeral, Kate sees a handsome young organist (Kenny Doughty as Jed) who looks familiar. He was once her student, but is now grown up and, whether a reaction to seeing how quickly life is passing or just a need to be close to someone, she impulsively has sex with him. The bigger surprise is that it turns into a relationship of great tenderness for both of them. Molly and Janine find it disconcerting. Kate's radiant happiness rattles them. They persuade themselves that they are acting in Kate's best interest when they try to break up the relationship. But their meddling has unforgivably tragic consequences.
