Together again after years of separation, Laura and Stephen Marshall and their daughter Victoria must find their way in an altered world. Their rambling garden refuses to be tamed, the house seems perceptibly to crumble. Hour by hour, as the glorious weather holds, it seems a perfectly ordinary day.
