Plot

Adapted from the novel by Angela Lambert this is the tale of two men who lose their wives on the same day in the same hospital. Turning to each other for support, the widowers attempt to rebuild their lives. When one becomes distracted by the attention of a glamorous but soon-to-be-bankrupt boutique owner they wonder if she really likes him or if she sees him as easy to manipulate to save his business. Produced from the BBC and staring three of England's finest this little flick wasn't critically acclaimed but if you're looking for an easy film to remind you what's important (and English) then this might be the ticket.
