The Fortnight in September by R.C. Sherriff
3.0

Gentle story about a British family's annual trip to the shore. An existential look at each member--the skittish mom, the blustering but soft-hearted dad, the oldest son who isn't quite sure about his path in life, and the 19 or 20 year old daughter who briefly steps outside her family's protective circle to possibly fall in love. It speaks to a certain time and class in English society. Sweet in its view of family but pretty sexist with a narrow vision of what's available to the mom and sister.
