With her son Edward about to embark on a volunteer trip to Africa, doting mother Patricia wants to give him a good send-off, and gathers her family together for a getaway to a holiday home on the idyllic Isles of Scilly. But gradually, deep fractures within the family set-up begin to surface.
The summery delights of cozy meals and scenic walks abound in Joanna Hogg’s exquisite film, starring Tom Hiddleston in an early-career standout role. Cast in a painterly light, this seemingly archetypical family holiday pushes and prods the limits of relationships—and the spaces that confine them.
