Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway star in the romantic drama, One Day, based on the bestselling book by David Nicholls (and adapted for the screen by the author). The film tells the story of two college students who spend the night together on their final day at school and make an unexpected connection that lasts for decades.

One Day hits theaters on August 19, 2011 and in this video provided by Focus Features, Jim Sturgess discusses the film’s story, the appeal of playing Dexter, bonding with Anne Hathaway, shooting on location, and what audiences can expect from the movie.

The Plot: Emma (Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) meet on the night of their college graduation – July 15th, 1988. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground. For the next two decades, every July 15th reveals to us how “Em” and “Dex” are faring, as their friendship ebbs and flows with the passing of the years. Through laughter and romance, heartbreak and exhilaration, they experience the grandeur of life. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along.
