The Eye of the Storm

In a Sydney suburb, two nurses, Maria and Flora, a housekeeper, Lotte, and a solicitor, Arnold Wyburd, attend to Elizabeth Hunter as her expatriate son Sir Basil, a famous but struggling actor in London, and daughter Dorothy, a divorced and down at heel princess, convene at her deathbed. As Mrs. Hunter's children attempt to reconcile with their estranged mother, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of life, love, and mortality. Through their efforts to secure her inheritance, they learn valuable lessons about compassion, humility, and the true meaning of living. In a poignant and powerful conclusion, Elizabeth Hunter finally passes away, surrounded by those she has come to care for.
