Kind of, sort of based on a true story. An american lady meets an old guy, living on the nearby land in england. Diane keaton is emily, living in london. But she seems to be running out of money. She tries to be on the right side of the local community issues. But when they decide the old property across the street is an eyesore, emily isn't sure where she stands. She befriends the old codger that lives behind it, and appreciates the wildlife and beauty that lives there. So at least now she has a cause! One running gag is the karl marx statue, which shares the cemetery with emily's deceased husband. It's fun. And cute. Directed by joel hopkins, who is very selective about what he directs. Story by oscar nominated Robert Festinger, who has also written and directed a few projects.
