The subject title I gave is the total sum of this movie.
I have seen tissue paper thicker than the plot for this film.
Set in the 1930's, two elderly sisters,Ursula and Janet, share a house in the English countryside, when one morning they discover a young man washed up on shore, more dead then alive.
They have him carted up to their house and call the doctor--who is an elderly gentleman.
Both sisters are delighted to have him--buy him a suit of new clothes, and learn to communicate with him. He is Polish, speaks no English, but does speak German.
One of the sisters, Ursula, falls in love with this young man whose name is Andrea. Frankly, I didn't find him that appealing--he was not that attractive either physically or his personality.
Andrea, of course, has zero interest in this lady romantically or sexually. That a lady in her 70s, I would guess her to be, would for even a single moment think that a man in his 20s would be the slightest bit interested in her was mind-boggling.
Ursula's romantic interest in him is played so subtly--that if I had not read it in a description of the film, I would never have guessed it.
Andrea plays the violin beautifully and becomes romantically interested in Olga, a German-speaking young woman artist, who's visiting the area.
The doctor, a man in his late 60s at least--is romantically interested in Olga.
That's it--that is all this film amounted to.
