I just watched this period movie starring Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Judi Dench.
I thought is was a good period piece and enjoyed it very much since I like those kinds of films.
The film focuses more on the powerful emotion of the heart than anything else.
It is based on a short story by William J. Locke. Charles Dance (The sneaky lawyer Tulkinghorn from "Bleak House" PBS) directed and this was his first film.
Two older sisters live by the sea in Cornwall and after a storm, find a body of a young man washed ashore.
They get help and have him stay at their seaside home to recover.
He does not speak English so they try to communicate with him as best as possible.
They get attached to him, in particular one sister.
Eventually, they find out he has a wonderful talent.
The sisters learn to let him go and be on his path in life in the end.
The performances were really wonderful and moving. It is a small gem.
