Storyline

"A trip with love and new friends."

A seaside resort in 1938. For Hilda, it seems as if romance almost died when she married school teacher Ernest. Only the movies can keep this spark alive. As she follows her pompous husband up the cliff walk to visit the obelisk, she wonders how he will react to the two sailors who want to join them.The boisterous Tiny is rather coarse, but his friend Stan has lovely manners and such very blue eyes....
