The Durrells

In 1935, Englishwoman Louisa Durrell's life has fallen apart. Her husband died some years earlier and she has financial problems and troubled children. She suddenly announces that the five of them will move from Bournemouth to the Greek island of Corfu. A Homeric battle ensues as the family adapts to life on the island, especially when they discover that Corfu doesn't even have electricity yet. But it is inexpensive, an earthly paradise, and the Durrell family makes the big step that will change their lives.
