Synopsis

Watch: The Shell Seekers 2006– 123movies, Full Movie Online – Artist’s daughter Penelope Keeling can look back on a full and varied life: a bohemian childhood in London and the wilds of Cornwall, an unhappy wartime marriage, and the one man she ever truly loved. She has brought up three very different children: Olivia, her ‘special child’, who like her mother is both tough and vulnerable; Noel, her ruthless and selfish son, and Nancy, the first born, embittered by greed and jealousy. It is a mild heart-attack that allows the sixty-four year old to take the time to reflect on her past life. Having discharged herself from hospital, the energetic and independent Penelope returns home to her ramshackle cottage in the English countryside. From here she travels to the Mediterranean paradise of Ibiza to stay with Olivia. Here she meets her daughter’s lover, Cosmo, and his daughter, the young and beautiful Antonia, all the while reminiscing about her time during the war. The story unfolds like a jigsaw, switching between the 1940’s and the present day. We learn of her marriage to Ambrose and the subsequent birth of the three so dissimilar children she has, over time, learned to accept for who they are. And of Richard, the dashing, romantic man she loved and was to marry but ultimately lost to the war. This story of lost love is mirrored in the present by that of Antonia, who comes to live with Penelope, and her love for the mysterious Danus. The secrets, passions and heartbreaks of Penelope’s past threaten to be repeated by the young couple unless they can learn from her misfortune and be honest with one and other. It is the discovery that her most treasured possession, her father’s painting, The Shell Seekers, is now worth a small fortune though that proves most alarming. For it is only then, as her ‘loved ones’ gather, that their true characters come to light and Penelope is forced to make the decisions that will determine whether they can continue to survive as a family, or be split apart. This is an adaptation of the work of Rosamunde Pilcher, based on the novel of the same name that has sold over 5 million copies world-wide and propelled her to the top of the international best-seller lists..
Plot: Penelope Keeling, a sixty-four-year-old daughter of a famous artist, reflects on her life, and the fate and choices that defined it, when she arrives in the Mediterranean to stay with her headstrong daughter. Shifting through time, and falling into place like the pieces of a jigsaw, the truth of Penelope’s rich, heartbreaking and surprising life unfolds.

Classic novel and a beautifully handled screenplay
“The Shellseekers” has it all! Aging protagonist played by Redgrave tells the story of the daughter of an artist who lives to find herself late in life with 3 children, two of which are mainly greedy brats. The third however brings a young girl in need of care to her mother and we learn the story of the past through their relationship.

It’s slower paced, Masterpiece Theater style retelling, so it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Watch it for the scenery if nothing else. I enjoyed it for its gentleness and warm themes.

It’s still Rosamunde Pilcher
“The Shell Seekers” or “Die Muschelsucher” is a co-production between Germany and the UK from 2006, so this one is already over a decade old. IMDb says it’s a German language project, but looking at the title and cast, I have doubts about that. Anway, it runs for slightly under 3 hours in total, but it may very well be possible that there are shorter versions out there and that they cut some stuff from the original to fit this project into a 20:15 television movie. The two big names here are of course Oscar winners Redgrave and Schell and I genuinely wonder how they got actors of that category to appear in a film based on cheesy schmaltz romance writer Rosamunde Pilcher’s work. Oh well, maybe it has to do with the fact that this work was previously adapted into a well-received film in the past, one that starred Angela Lansbury in Redgrave’s role. Oh yeah Sebastian Koch is in here too, but his screen time is so tiny that I certainly would not recommend his fans to sit through almost 180 minutes for that. Maybe check out video platforms for his scene. Schell is in it longer, but also not that much really that his fans need to see it. Those who maybe want to are the fans of the talented Vanessa Redgrave. She has decent screen time and material and is basically the only aspect that keeps this from becoming a garbage movie. But only she can do so much to slightly elevate the really weak script and make up for all the extremely forgettable British cast members in here. As always with Pilcher, there are such important subjects in here like money, greed, death, marriage and most of all love and also as always with Pilcher films these subjects are handled in ways that are horrifyingly bad. I cannot say if the writer is to blame or if the filmmakers are at fault, but I can say that this film here cannot even be saved by the stars that show up on the cast list. What were you thinking Nessa? It’s a thumbs-down, don’t watch. Way too long too, so if you find a shorter version, go for that one, but make sure it’s not just the first half or so. Or skip it altogether, may be the wisest choice actually.
