Plot Synopsis
Cornwall 1936: Despite the great events about to unfold in Europe, Cornwall remains as ever a timeless place rarely moved by life in the outside world. Farmers and fishermen pay heed to the weather and shipping forecasts, but precious little else that the wireless brings them. Strangers are seldom made to feel welcome and even outsiders are never fully welcome into the tightly-knit atmosphere of village life.
The discovery of a castaway on the beach below their house does however, disrupt the peaceful lives of sisters Janet and Ursula Widdington and the community in which they live.
“A worthy crowdpleaser…Dench perfectly tuned with Smith…full of delightful moments” – Variety
