Albatross
Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A 17-year-old writer named Emelia Conan-Doyle (Jessica Brown Findlay) aspires to follow in the footsteps of her famous grandfather while supporting herself by working at a seaside resort, and she soon strikes up a friendship that will change her life. Jonathan (Sebastian Koch) is a novelist suffering from a bad case of writer's block. He's just brought his family to a posh hotel near the sea when his studious daughter Beth (Felicity Jones) begins hanging out with free-spirited Emelia. In time, Jonathan offers to teach Emelia creative writing, and temptation rears its ugly head as his career-driven wife (Julia Ormond) grows increasingly frustrated.

Emelia: Are you sure? It's pretty dirty form where I'm standing. Filthy actually.
- When Emelia (Jessica Brown Findlay) goes to purchase liquor, the store clerk asked for proof that she was 18. Emelia merely showed her breasts and exclaimed: "There. Are these not the breasts of an 18 year old?" Findlay was 22 when she acted in this film.
- The green convertible sports car Jonathan drives is a Triumph TR2, produced between 1953-1955, although the modern registration suggests that it may be a replica.
