Synopsis

In this light-hearted comedy drama, a one-parent family - Mrs Flax, her teenage daughter Charlotte and younger daughter Kate - arrive in a small New England town. It is 1963 and Mrs Flax is an unconventional woman, a little ahead of her time, given to moving her family somewhere new whenever a romantic relationship ends, but she sees the possibility of a more permanent stop this time, thanks to the arrival in their lives of the decent Lou.
