Can 'Emilia' Get Rid Of The "Albatross" Around her Neck ?

Sneak Peek the new poster supporting the UK feature "Albatross", directed by Niall MacCormick, starring Sebastian Koch, Peter Vaughan, Jessica Brown-Findlay, Felicity Jones and Julia Ormond :

"...Teenager 'Emelia' (Brown-Findlay) starts a new job at 'The Cliff House', a small hotel run by the dysfunctional 'Fischer' family. Teenager 'Beth Fischer' is cramming for her exams in a desperate bid to escape to University. Dad 'Jonathan' (Koch) is an author. Once the bright young thing of the literary establishment, he is now suffering interminable writer's block. Wife 'Joa' runs the hotel Jonathan bought with earnings from his first book. She resents it, him, and everyone around her as she gave up her 'promising career as an actress' for this.

"Emelia is an aspiring writer; believing she is following in the footsteps of her great-grandfather Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle. Jonathan sees promise in Emelia and begins to tutor her, but their relationship quickly crosses the pupil-teacher line and they embark on a love affair. At the same time, Emelia and Beth strike up a surprise friendship: Emelia's free-spirit helps Beth learn to let her hair down and Emelia is inspired by Beth's determination and focus.

"Secrets are revealed as the threads of the story collide and unravel. Can Emelia get rid of the 'Albatross' that hangs round her neck and rewrite herself?..."
