The View from the Windows
dramatized by Bethan Roberts.

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

It's 1956 and the avant-garde commercial artist Monica Rawlins is 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.

Monica struggles with her true identity when a charming journalist interviews her about her geese and then a portrait painting session with her neighbour goes horribly wrong.
