In sixteenth-century England, a young couple build a family while living apart as the husband pursues work in London. When tragedy strikes their child, they struggle with grief, marriage, and the possibility that sorrow can be transformed into lasting art.
You may enjoy this intimate, sorrowful period drama if you appreciate emotionally intense stories and Shakespearean connections; Not for you if you need brisk pacing, clear plot momentum, or a lighter experience.
