- Synopsis:
When Penelope Keeling, the 64-year-old daughter of a famous artist suffers a mild heart attack, it presents her with the opportunity to reassess her life and the chance to revisit the past. Leaving her home in the English countryside, Penelope travels to the Mediterranean island of Ibiza to visit her headstrong daughter, Olivia. Here she meets Olivia's lover, Cosmo and Cosmo's young daughter, Antonia, to whom Penelope imparts the wisdom of a remarkable life. Slowly Penelope's life unfolds - her bohemian childhood in London, her unhappy marriage to Ambrose, her relationship with her embittered and ruthless children, the dashing and romantic Richard, the only man she ever truly loved, lost to the war. Her most valued possession, 'The Shell Seekers', is her late father's exquisite painting, a unifying work of art with the power to bring a family together - or destroy the bonds forever. - Actors:
