Story
Metroland follows Chris, a man living in suburban London with his wife Marion during the late 1970s. His life takes an unexpected turn when Toni, his free-spirited friend from their days in Paris ten years earlier, suddenly reappears. Toni's arrival stirs up memories of Chris' youthful abandon and his former affair with Annick while living in Paris. This rekindles doubts about his marriage to Marion, who Toni seems to dislike. As Toni exerts pressure on Chris to return to their old lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll, Chris starts questioning his values, lifestyle choices, and relationship with Marion. He even suspects her of starting an affair with Toni. The tension comes to a head, forcing Chris to decide whether to rekindle the carefree life of his youth with Toni or commit to his present life with Marion.
