The View from the Windows
dramatised by Bethan Roberts.

The series which explores the 20th century through the diaries and correspondence of real people.

It's 1955 and the avant-garde commercial artist Monica Rawlins finds herself alone, in the middle-of-nowhere rural Cardiganshire, breeding geese. How has her life come to this?

A heart-warming drama about unrequited love, unfulfilled dreams, art and poultry keeping.

A trip to London offers Monica respite from the farm but not from memories of her ex-love. Meanwhile Stuart's declining health brings about a huge change back at Brynmeheryn.

Directed by Helen Perry
