Synopsis

‘People are capable of anything. Including this. Including you.’

A pregnant couple wait for their 20-week scan, as the future they had planned slips through their fingers.

Guess How Much I Love You? is a story about starting a family, impossible choices, and enduring love.

A powerhouse cast including Rosie Sheehy (Olivier Award-nominee for Machinal) and Robert Aramayo (2026 BAFTA Best Actor nominee and 2025 British Independent Film Award-winner for I Swear) lead this deeply moving relationship drama.

Olivier Award-winner Jeremy Herrin (People, Places and Things) directs a world premiere from Bruntwood Prize-winning playwright Luke Norris (Goodbye To All That), co-starring Asian Media Award-nominee Lena Kaur (Expendable).

With thanks to support from Nicola Kerr.
