The title is a reference to a poem of the same name by English poet Stevie Smith, in which a dead man berates those who failed to notice or acknowledge the circumstances leading to his death.

Leaving small-town life in her dust, Adele moves wide-eyed to New York City, and her best friend Sara is stuck in their boring hometown. Separate for the first time in their lives, the film charts their new relationships, while beautiful background music sequences capture fleeting emotions as their lives move in unexpected directions.[4]
