A very pleasant and charming spectral story with the very much missed George Cole.
Set amidst a sleepy village where James, a young man from a care home, goes to live in a mansion owned by his great uncle.
There is of course a backstory involving his great uncle. Turmoil and grief.
James is visited by apparitions that hint at a tragedy that befell the mansion in the distant past. The story meanders through the past and present where we learn of the friendship between child servants and the son of the master of the house.
It's a gentle drama that can be watched by the whole family. Prunella Scales plays the housemaid that's been working in the family for generations, she and the great uncle share a history.
It lacks a high budget production but perhaps that contributes to the beauty of the film. Well recommended.
