The reckless abandon of wartime, in all its pain and glory.
It's August 1939 and five cousins gather at their uncle's big house on the Cornish coast.
The imminence of war charges the air as they frolic on the fragrant lawn and tempt fate on the terrifying cliffs that one last sultry summer.
Returning to the house nearly half a century later for a funeral, they recall how the war rearranged their lives and brought them suffering, sex and love.
At turns dramatic, gossipy, comedic, and tragic, the miniseries follows the young Cuthbertson cousins as their lives are torn asunder by the traumas of the war and also by their sexual experiences.
A huge hit in England in the early 1990s, THE CAMOMILE LAWN tracks the characters' lives and loves in a suddenly changing world.
This lusty, darkly humorous drama reunites Good Neighbors co-stars Felicity Kendal and Paul Eddington.
Also starring Jennifer Ehle (Pride and Prejudice), Tara Fitzgerald (Brassed Off!), Rosemary Harris, Claire Bloom, and Nicholas le Prevost.
Faithfully adapted from Mary Wesley's beloved novel by Ken Taylor, who also adapted The Jewel in the Crown for television.
