The extraordinary friend

“One Day” charts an extraordinary relationship.the kind of friends who confide in and lean on one another.
Emma and Dexter 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 love and loss, heartbreak and success, hopes fulfilled and dreams shattered, they experience the grandeur of life.
along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along.
The film has a five-star, sensational leading performance by Jim Sturgess as Dexter, a public-school smoothie who can’t resist a pretty female face or the attractions of quick and easy fame on the telly. In many ways, he personifies the arrogance of youth.

p/s :
I read the novel before watch the movie.
It was an awesome movie for me,maybe i freshly read the novel and i love the storyline.
Simply being amazed by Em & Dex's friendship and touched by how they lean on each other even in other places. The story very persuasive of a close friendship - the delight Emma and Dexter take in one another, the flirting and the banter that sometimes hide resentment and sometimes yearning, the way the relationship shifts and evolves as the years pass. I feel the story is so in "REAL LIFE".
And, I love Dexter so much :P His charm is too hard to resist!
