The Beach House
Directed by Roger Spottiswoode
Produced by Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions, Hallmark Media
A warm, nostalgic Southern family drama centered on reconnection and healing, set against the backdrop of a scenic beach house where past wounds and present struggles intersect.
Cara Rudland thought she’d left her Southern roots and troubled family far behind, but returns to the scenic Lowcountry of her childhood summers after losing her job in Chicago. There, she reconnects with her mother Lovie, who has been caring for her young, pregnant friend Toy in her charming beach house.
