Having met Anne at the
time of the 1969 Isle of Wight music festival and fallen madly in
love, Paul decides to run off with Anne to her mainland commune,
leaving behind his conservative life on the island. On hearing the
news, his father, Albert, suffers a heart attack which forces Paul to
reconsider his options.
In the present day, a
chance encounter with Anne's daughter leads the recently widowed Paul
back into the past and the flames of romance slowly grow, not just
for Paul and Anne, but for their children as well.
The parallels between
Paul's past relationship with his father and his current relationship
with his own son become apparent in this poignant and humorous look
at how the events of 1969 affect three generations of the same family.
A must for all who
remember the heady days of the hippy! |
