The Durrells

In 1935, Louisa Durrell, a widowed and cash-strapped mother, decides to leave England with her four children (three boys, one girl) and settle on the Greek island of Corfu. Upon arrival, the family moves into a dilapidated old house without electricity, but life on the island is affordable and idyllic. The Durrells embrace their new existence, filled with challenges, adventures, and relationships to be forged.
