From the BBC website:

Kathleen and John, in the twilight of their long marriage, have retired to a beautiful town in the South of France. The house they spent a lifetime of summers renovating offers reminders of happy times for John as his memory begins to fail. Kathleen is sure the house keeps him grounded, happy… until one day she learns John is planning something that threatens to turn their whole world upside down.
