In the early
'50s, a young army officer and a student nurse fell in love. Four decades
later, they meet again by accident. Just a wrinklies' reunion or will
romance be rekindled?
Judi Dench is
Jean, a hardworking widow who runs a secretarial agency with her
beautiful, twice-divorced daughter, Judith (Moira Brooker). Geoffrey
Palmer is Lionel, a divorced ex-army officer and
coffee-planter, who has returned to write his autobiography entitled
"My Life in Kenya". When Lionel becomes displeased with the
temporary secretary from the agency, Judith tries to placate him and makes
such a good impression that he invites her out to dinner.
Inevitably, Lionel and Jean meet, with the strangest
feeling they have met before. As it turns out, they enjoyed a magical but
brief affair before he was posted to Korea. His letter went astray, and
she never saw him again, until now. Judith is a romantic and takes an
immediate interest in their precarious relationship--but a few obstacles
stand in the way. Alistair, Lionel's trendy young publisher, takes quite a
fancy to Jean, and Lionel is not without his own admirers.
