Description In a seaside apartment block, in three rooms George and Lily are having a romantic night in. Cecil celebrates his dead wife's seventy-seventh birthday. Michael needs to finish his painting, but his canvas remains blank. And, amongst all this, a little girl hunts for her teddy. Moody, provocative and stylish, Beautiful is a daring ghost story for modern times. When a little girl draws together the lives of four tenants, their loyalties, frustrations and gruesome secrets are unleashed.
