And time is running out.For Once in My Life is a romantic comedy about love, second chances, and never, ever giving up.
Kim and Harry are total opposites who happen to have the same favourite people in the world: Kim's older sister Eva and her young son, Otis. Both Harry and Kim are too stuck in their prejudices to care about what's really going on beneath the surface of each other's lives. They'll never understand each other - until the worst of all tragedies strikes. Faced with the possibilities of losing the person they both love most, long- buried secrets come to a head in ways that will change both Harry and Kim forever.
Kim a Harry sú úplné protiklady. Zhodou okolností majú radi tých istých ľudí: Kiminu staršiu sestru Evu a jej malého syna Otisa, ktorému chýba otec. Kim nejde do hlavy, čo jej krásna voľnomyšlienkarská veľká sestra vidí na namyslenom bankárovi a suchárovi Harrym, ktorý sa vždy zjaví tam, kde ho nechce vidieť. Celé detstvo si ho drží ďaleko od tela (Musí vždy jazdiť v najnápadnejších autách a snažiť sa očariť každého, koho stretne?), zatiaľ čo Harryho obľúbenou zábavou je provokovať a zlostiť Kim. Harry aj Kim sa príliš držia svojich predsudkov, aby ich zaujímalo, čo sa naozaj odohráva pod povrchom toho druhého. Nerozumejú si, kým nezasiahne najhoršia zo všetkých tragédií. Keď sa ocitnú zoči-voči možnosti, že stratia svojho najdrahšieho človeka, vyplávajú na povrch hlboko pochované tajomstvá, ktoré ich oboch navždy zmenia.
