* HorribleHoneymoon: The movie revolves around a young couple whose relationship is tested to its limit by their terrible honeymoon at Chesil Beach. Edward and Florence are both virgins when they marry in 1962; due to the time period neither of them know much about how sex works, especially Florence, as it wouldn't be considered 'proper'. [[spoiler:It's also subtly hinted Florence may have been sexually abused by her domineering father]]. After an awkward dinner they attempt to consummate their marriage, but it doesn't go well, with Florence even running out of the room. [[spoiler:Florence is so distraught she suggests a SexlessMarriage but Edward isn't willing to accept this. They can't resolve the matter and so end up getting an annulment just days after the wedding]].
