- In 1935, beleaguered Bournemouth mother Louisa Durrell decides to uproot her problematic family and build a new life on the Greek island of Corfu. However, they soon find that island life presents its own problems.
- In 1935 widow Louisa Durrell pulls her bullied youngest son Gerry out of his Bournemouth school and, along with his siblings, would-be writer Larry and rebellious teenagers Margo and Leslie, moves him to Corfu, where Larry's friend Donald lives. Thanks to enterprising local taxi driver they are installed in a - fairly dilapidated - house and whilst the other children annoy the natives Gerry finds a fellow nature enthusiast in doctor Theo. Efforts by her offspring to match-make Louisa with salty ex-sailor Captain Creech are a disaster . On the other hand, she finds Theo perfectly charming.—don @ minifie-1
- A Bournemouth family struggles to make ends meet since father Durrel's death, and fits ever less in the stifling 1935 English atmosphere. After youngest son Gerald Junior 'Gerry' was caned at school for drifting to his passion animals, mother Louisa follows firstborn would be-author Larry's jocular advice to move to cheap Corfu, like his study mate Donald. House and furniture being sold, there is no way back, but luckily friendly cab driver Spiros Halikiopoulos helps them settle by bargaining cheap rent and everything else, even measly hypochondriac housekeeper Lugaretzia. While Gerry finds a friend in nature-studying doctor Theo Stephanides, found too intellectual for the kids' plan to end mother's own gloom by finding her a man, second son Leslie's passion for hunting suspiciously passes, as turns out to woe a local girl, while his feminist sister Margo persists sun-bathing close to the local Orthodci priest, whose pudor proves corruptible. Larry takes home his new; well old, pub mate Captain Creech, who proves a lazy sleaze and shameless womanizer.—KGF Vissers
