Synopsis:
In this adaptation of the satirical British novel, Flora Poste, a plucky London society girl orphaned at age 19, finds a new home with some rough relatives, the Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm. With a take-charge attitude and some encouragement from her mischievous friend, Mary, Flora changes the Starkadders’ lives forever when she settles into their rustic estate, bringing the backward clan up to date and finding inspiration for her novel in the process.
