Based on the novel by L.P. Hartley:
"In 1900, 12-year-old Leo Colston [Jack Hollington] spends a blisteringly hot summer with the wealthy family of class-mate Marcus Maudsley [Samuel Joslin] at their Norfolk estate. When Marcus falls ill, Leo is befriended by the daughter of the house, the glamorous, captivating Marian [Joanna Vanderham], who is to be engaged to disfigured Boer War veteran, the kindly Hugh Trimingham [Stephen Campbell Moore]. Totally smitten by her, Leo agrees to carry business letters between herself and young tenant farmer Ted Burgess [Ben Batt]. However the messages are not what they first appear to be and will have unfortunate consequences spanning half a century when Leo [Jim Broadbent] meets up with Marian [Vanessa Redgrave] again." - IMDb.com
