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

Having endured an awful spring Monica hopes a visit from her nephew, the artist Geoffrey Rawlins, will bring some reprieve. Yet memories of the past are never far from her mind. Whilst in the present one very special gosling demands more attention than Monica can afford to give.
