Synopsis and trailer follow...

Art historian Max Morden returns to the sleepy seaside resort where he spent summers as a child after losing his wife. Max lodges at a boarding house he once frequented, where frosty proprietor Miss Vavasour, and eccentric resident Blunden, now reside.

Before long, and despite protestations from his daughter Clare, Max revisits the ghosts of his past.

A touching story of memory, love, loss and regret, this is a haunting, uplifting, meditation on the human condition - at times elegiac, poetic, and nostalgic. A story of memory, love, loss, regret, and the persistent possibility of rebirth.
