Cary Scott is a well-to-do widow gradually re-entering a social life amongst her mostly dull country club peers. Her only apparent enjoyment in life comes from weekend visits from her college-age children. Cary then meets a handsome younger man, Ron, who owns a small landscaping business. A follower of Henry David Thoreau's Walden, Ron enjoys a life focused on nature and is deliberately uninterested in the gossipy opinions of others. Their romance causes clashes and tensions between Cary, her children, and the country club. This event is a part of the BFI Too Much: Melodrama Season and has been made possible through National Lottery Funding.
