Plotlands

1997 · 1 season

A slow, earnest story of hardship and community, it feels like a tough but hopeful struggle to build a home from nothing.

Overview: Sold a small plot of land for a tiny outlay, Cockney widow Chloe Marsh and her two daughters flee the slums of post-war London for a better life in the country. But rural life in 1922 is hard. Chloe and her fellow pioneers have no mains water, no gas, no electricity, and no jobs. Forced to live in tents until they can afford a shack, they carve a community out of the hostile countryside.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic, warm and uplifting. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Survival, family, class, isolation
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
