My Sailor, My Love (12A)

A retired sea captain and his daughter must reassess their strained relationship after he begins a new romance with a widowed housekeeper

Howard (James Cosmo), a retired sailor and widower, lives in a house by the sea. His adult daughter Grace (Catherine Walker) hires a caretaker for her father, a lady of mature years, Annie (Bríd Brennan). Recluse and stubborn, Howard rejects Annie's company, but eventually opens his heart and gives his final love a chance. Grace has her own crisis to unravel: her father's new love reminds her of the affection she missed, as a child and now again as an adult. Annie must face the tribulations of a complex father-daughter relationship, while Howard and Grace must realize their own imperfections. 
 
With beautifully nuanced performances, My Sailor, My Love is a moving romantic drama, full of integrity and wisdom about life and love.
