Shadows in the Sun

Set in the late 1960s “Shadows in the Sun” is the poignant story of how a mysterious young loner changes the lives of one family and helps them rediscover their roots and deep affection for one another.

Hannah (Jean Simmons) lives alone in a large, remote house on England’s north Norfolk coast, where little has changed in fifty years…the marshes, the sand dunes, the pine forests, the long empty beaches and solitary houses under wide, open skies. She and her late husband, a diplomat bought the house after a life filled with theatre, books and travel. She seems perfectly happy with her poetry, her garden and her much younger friend, Joe (Jamie Dornan) a handsome, mysterious young loner who brings her cannabis to ease the pain of a long illness.

When Hannah’s son, Robert (James Wilby), arrives with Kate (Ophelia Lovibond) and Sam (Toby Marlowe), his teenage daughter and ten-year-old son, tensions quickly surface. Robert is shocked by Hannah’s intimacy with Joe and is deeply suspicious of his motives, while Kate finds him extremely attractive. Sam, in between excitedly exploring the nearby ship wreck and roaming the countryside, learns about jealousy and loss.

A series of dramatic incidents culminating in Sam nearly drowning, unite the family and create an air of acceptance and understanding of each other…
