A comedy by Alfred Shaughnessy.

The time is warm September; the place a villa on the coast near Cannes where lives Clare, Comtesse de Vernay, and Alexis Mouranoff. She was formerly a great opera singer, he was once a fashionable painter, and the villa is a house of regrets, half-hearted hopes, and memories, its only real life coming from Nicole, the pretty young maid. But now visitors arrive: Angela Dale-Adams, an attractive Englishwoman in her late thirties, recently divorced, her seventeen-year-old son Simon, and Simon's tutor for the holidays, Charles Latimer, who turns out to be different from the expected dry-as-dust schoolmaster. In the circumstances romantic attachments are inevitable, and we see how love is different for the elderly, the ageing, and the very young.
