Gerald is an elderly man who resents losing his independence. He's recently moved in with his son and family but now that the family is going on a skiing vacation, Gerald is forced to stay at a hotel which is also like a short-stay nursing home. He clearly resents it and wants to hate every minute of it. And, at first, he does a great job of being miserable. But when he meets Katherine, she is able to cut through his very gruff exterior...and their relationship is quite charming.
As I already said, I love the acting. My only regret is that some elements of the story were very easy to guess and anticipate...the biggest weakness in an otherwise terrific film. Well worth seeing...and proof that Ackland was every bit the equal to the great Ms. Simmons.
It is a sensitive and intelligent movie that grabs you from the get go.
The scenery in magnificent. The movie as a whole draws you in and really takes you into the life and place these people are experiencing.
If I can ever buy it, I will. Right now, though it will be seen on the Hallmark channel June 18th.
Hopefully, someone "out there" will release this movie for the public's pleasure at some time!

- CuriosidadesMuch of the filming took place at the Tregenna Castle Hotel. The flags which can be seen outside the hotel include the US and Cornwall flags side by side, which were left over from a wedding of a Cornish woman and an American man which had taken place at the hotel shortly before.
- Citações
Arthur Carmody: Ah, now that is handy; a little sewing kit, and something to polish your shoes with. Look!
Gerald Carmody: Oh, wonderful. I can't wait to sit in the bath, sewing my socks, shining my shoes and wearing my shower cap.
Arthur Carmody: Dad, we really want you to enjoy this. We couldn't leave you alone, not after what happened.
Gerald Carmody: It was an isolated incident.
Arthur Carmody: Yes, well, there's no point in going over old ground.
Gerald Carmody: Absolutely. Well, I'll see you in two weeks then. Don't be surprised if I'm still sitting here.
Arthur Carmody: Then you'd be a damned fool. Places like this are bloody nice.
Gerald Carmody: Places like this are the equivalent of a kennel. When you go on holiday, pets go into kennels and elderly relatives go into places like this.
Arthur Carmody: You could have a very pleasant two weeks here if you weren't so determined to be miserable.
Gerald Carmody: I do not enjoy being surrounded by old people.
Miss Glaistow: [there is a knock on the door which opens] Mr. Camody, I'm Miss Glaistow, resident physiotherapist and general dogsbody. And I always make it a point of greeting our guests and explaining the room.
Gerald Carmody: Oh, really? Have your guests so little experience of rooms? What is their natural habitat? The Serengeti? The Arctic tundra?
Arthur Carmody: My father's a little unhappy at being dumped. At least that's how he sees it.
Gerald Carmody: That's exactly how it is, Arthur. I don't mind accepting that fact but I do object to your dressing it up as a little treat for the old man.
