Simmons plays Hannah, an elderly widower living in a large, remote house in East Anglia, England, who develops a close relationship with a mysterious young man who brings her cannabis to ease the pain of a long illness. Tensions develop when Hannah's son (Wilby) and children come to visit and question the motives of the loner.
Simmons was Oscar nommed in 1948 for Laurence Olivier's "Hamlet" and again in 1969 for Richard Brooks' "The Happy Ending."
The pic also stars former Calvin Klein model Jamie Dornan ("Marie Antoinette") and newcomers Ophelia Lovibond and Toby Marlow.
