Jessica Brown Findlay and Felicity Jones star in this modern-day coming-of-age tale from award-winning television director Niall MacCormick

Aspiring writer and 17-year-old force of nature Emelia (Brown Findlay) bursts into the lives of the dysfunctional Fischer family when she is hired to work in their guest house in a sleepy town on the South Coast.

Beth Fischer (Felicity Jones), also seventeen, is cramming for her A-Levels, in a desperate bid to escape to University, whilst dad Jonathan (Sebastian Koch), once a best-selling author, is suffering from writer’s block much to the annoyance of frustrated mum Joa (Julia Ormond) who runs the hotel and laments the promising acting career she once left behind.
 
Emelia has been bought up by her grandparents and is under the impression that she is the great granddaughter of renowned novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Jonathan sees promise in Emelia and begins to tutor her, as Beth becomes enamoured with her forthright friend and decides to take her along on a visit to Oxford University – with hilariously raucous results.
 
As Emelia’s confidence and free-spirit help Beth learn to enjoy life beyond, Emelia too is inspired by Beth’s determination to focus and she begins to see a way to break through her self-destructive tendencies.  However, when Emelia and Jonathan begin an illicit affair, the girls’ friendship is threatened.
 
Can Emelia and Beth escape the ties of small town existence and free themselves of the Albatross around their necks?

Albatross is currently scheduled for an October release
