Overview
The story is set in 1947, following a long-retired Holmes living in a Sussex village with his housekeeper and rising detective son. But then he finds himself haunted by an unsolved 50-year old case. Holmes' memory isn't what it used to be, so he only remembers fragments of the case: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.
The tag line says that Holmes is trying to solve the only mystery that he couldn’t solve. What that mystery is may surprise you. A lovely film with a lot of depth.
