简介：Flowers is an imaginative, cinematic comedy about an eccentric family, The Flowers, struggling to hold themselves together. Julian Barratt plays Maurice (author of twisted children’s books The Grubbs) and Olivia Colman plays Deborah (a music teacher); a husband and wife who are barely together but yet to divorce. As Maurice fights inner demons and dark secrets, Deborah tries to keep the family together at all costs and becomes increasingly suspicious that Maurice is in a secret homosexual relationship with his Japanese illustrator Shun (played by Will Sharpe). They live in a creaky, messy, crumbling old house with Maurice's fruitcake mother Hattie (Leila Hoffman) and their maladjusted twenty five year old twins Amy (Sophia di Martino – Mount Pleasant, Friday Night Dinner) and Donald (Daniel Rigby - Eric and Ernie, Cardinal Burns, Undercover): both competing for the same girl and continually failing to burst through the confines of their absurdly arrested development. Swinging from the magical to the mundane to the downright mad, the eccentric Flowers and their often self-inflicted crises, are surrounded by even stranger neighbours who become the agents of yet more everyday chaos and disaster.
