Most people would just adopt a dog or a cat....
12 January 2017
Two elderly sisters (Maggie Smith and Judi Dench) live along the Cornish coast in England. One evening a violent storm erupts and the next morning a young man has washed ashore on the beach. The sisters manage to get him to their cottage and when he awakens it slowly becomes apparent that the guy is Polish. Now here's where it gets a little odd. Instead of just nursing him back to health and sending him on his way, the women hold on to Andrea (Daniel Brühl). Essentially, instead of adopting a new dog or cat, the pair adopt a young man! What is to become of this? And, who exactly is he and how did he get to Cornwall?

So is this film any good? Yes...which isn't surprising considering it stars Dench and Smith--two amazing actresses. Likewise, the music (which makes up a great deal of the film) is lovely. In fact, I have no real complaints and the film is original. Worth seeing.
