Its August 1939 and five cousins gather at their uncles big house on the Cornish coast. The imminence of war charges the air as the frolic on the fragrant lawn and tempt fate on the terrifying cliffs that one last sultry summer. Returning to the house nearly half a century later for a funeral they recall how the war arranges their lives and brought them suffering, sex, and love. This lusty, darkly humours drama reunites Good Neighbours co-stars Felicity Kendal and Paul Eddington. Also starring Jennifer Ehle (Pride and Prejudice), Tara Fitzgerald (Brassed Off!), Rosemary Harries, Claire Bloom, and Nicholas le Prevost. Faithfully adapted from Mary Wesleys beloved novel by Ken Taylor, who also adapted The Jewel in the Crown for television.
