Connie Winstanley lives in the post-war English town of Grimbleton. She knows: her dad Freddie Winstanley died in the war, and her mother brought her from Greece. And she realizes that the people in whose house she lives with her mother are not really her relatives, and all this is somehow connected with B.S.S. – The Big Family Scandal that everyone refuses to talk about. The story of the Winstanley family, seen through Connie’s eyes, is more than half a century of life with all its joys and losses, despair and love, mistakes and lessons. This is the story of a woman's life, undoubtedly happy. Because even in the most difficult times, Connie remained confident that if it’s hard, you can always catch the last bus and go home.
