Retired couple Arthur (Bernard Hill, Wolf Hall) and Martha (Virginia McKenna, The Camomile Lawn) Goode live a quiet suburban life, tending to their garden and socializing with friends at their club. But when the nation's financial crisis empties their hard-earned pension accounts, the couple seizes the opportunity to replenish their funds through a series of bank robberies.

Based on the works of Rosamunde Pilcher, this sweeping saga follows a momentous year in the life of the Combe family at their magnificent estate on the Cornish coast. When Julia (Senta Berger) returns after being banished years earlier, it upends life at Endellion, unlocking secrets from the past that will have profound effects on three generations of women. Michael York and Tom Conti also star.

Based on the novel by Rosamunde Pilcher, The Shell Seekers stars Vanessa Redgrave in "a fine, flinty performance" (Variety) as Penelope Keeling, who reflects on her life following a heart attack. As she recalls her wild childhood, one true love, and unhappy marriage, Penelope assesses her differing relationships with her three grown children and makes a choice that will decide her family's future.
