Cider With Rosie

Samantha Morton and Jessica Hynes star in this BBC adaptation of the novel by Laurie Lee, narrated by Timothy Spall. Set in post-war Gloucestershire in a sleepy Cotswold village, dreamy days spent sampling Granny Wallon (June Whitfield)'s home brew give way to a darker vision of country life. As young Lol (Archie Cox) suffers at the hands of his sadistic teacher, happiness soon arrives as he experiences his first love with the precocious Rosie (Ruby Ashbourne Serkis).
