Synopsis and trailer follow...

The film is the intimate, enchanting true story of young, vibrant souls navigating their way through love, passion and friendship in the picturesque landscape of early twentieth century England.

It focuses on the wild and bohemian Lamorna Group, dominated by the charismatic AJ Munnings. The incendiary anti-Modernist Munnings, now regarded as one of Britain’s most sought-after artists, is at the heart of the complex love triangle, involving the young aspiring painter Florence Carter-Wood and Gilbert Evans, the land agent in charge of the Lamorna estate.

The story is played out against the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast, in the far West of England, beyond the reach of London and its stifling conventions.
