Cast includes Emma Watson from some time in the middle of the Harry Potter series, and Lucy Boynton near the beginning of her career. I found it interesting. Packs a lot into about 90 minutes. Those 2 plus one other were adopted at various times by an anthropologist (I think) during his travels and grow up together as sisters in London. His great niece is more or less their mother, she also came to live with him when she was orphaned. He's gone most of the time. Money gets tight, they take on some boarders and the girls find some work in various stage productions singing, dancing and/or acting. There's more to it, but that's a brief overview. The 4 of them, plus the boarders and a few other people who come into their lives all get decent character arcs. Well done IMO. [/QUOTE]
