The film explores the complex love triangle between Alex, Bob, and Daniel, and the various feelings and emotions that each of them experience throughout their relationship.
Alex, a successful career woman in her 30s, meets Bob, a young and stunning artist. Though she is aware that Bob is involved with Daniel, a man twice his age, Alex embarks on a passionate affair with Bob, driven by her desire to break away from her conservative upbringing and explore her own sexuality.
Bob is torn between his love for both Alex and Daniel, who he sees as two different but complementary aspects of his life. While he enjoys the easygoing and adventurous lifestyle with Alex, he also finds comfort and stability in his relationship with the more mature and intellectual Daniel.
As the three of them navigate the ups and downs of their unconventional arrangement, they struggle with feelings of jealousy, insecurity, and the fear of abandonment. Eventually, Bob decides to leave both Alex and Daniel, realizing that his heart belongs to neither of them exclusively.
Sunday Bloody Sunday is a raw and honest portrayal of a complex and unconventional romance that transcends societal norms and expectations. It is a poignant reflection on the nature of love and relationships, and the complexities of human emotions.
