Set in a tightly knit Cornish fishing village in the mid–‘30s, the character–driven piece centers on the relationship between sisters Janet (Smith) and Ursula (Dench) Waddington, who live in an immaculate little cottage, tended to by their no–nonsense housekeeper, Dorcas (the equally irrepressible Miriam Margolyes).
Janet‘s a widow and Ursula‘s a spinster, but they‘ve acquired the time–honed rhythm of an old married couple.That rhythm is about to be jarred out of sync when the semi–conscious body of a young man ("Good bye, Lenin!‘s" Daniel Bruhl) washes ashore following a violent storm.
