Feature Film-drama
THE RED SHOES meets THE KILLING OF SISTER GEORGE in a completely unique way.
Domainey Manor. A large mansion in Devon in the mid-fifties, a middle-aged woman and sculptor, Geraldine Saxmundham, resides there, she inherited the estate from her mother, Hermione, two years before; her parents were very much part of the Bloomsbury intelligentsia.
It is 1955. The Banks family enter the picture and take a lease on the Manor, a charismatic family, a brilliant aeroplane designer Benson Banks, his beautiful and charismatic wife Guinevere and their four lively and attractive children. Geraldine meets Genevieve Banks looking down on the round pond at the entrance to the estate, and the die is cast.
This is a story of its time.
