Ladies in Lavender
The story of two sisters who saved a stranger, and the stranger who stole their hearts.
Directed by Charles Dance

A tender, character-driven romance about two aging sisters whose quiet lives are upended by a charming stranger, set against the picturesque backdrop of coastal England.
Andrea, a gifted young Polish violinist from Krakow, is bound for America when he is swept overboard by a storm. When the Widdington sisters discover the handsome stranger on the beach below their house, they nurse him back to health.
