They Came Like Swallows

Four friends have been on the road, travelling, living hand-to-mouth for two years, pursuing a true sense of freedom, when one of them receives word her Father is seriously ill and is going to die. Though she is inexplicably convinced he will live, they all return home to England, to a claustrophobic cottage in the middle of the countryside. One of her friends sees this as an opportunity to regain what he feels he has missed emotionally in his life, as his father died before he ever had the chance to know him. Their time spent waiting in this tense atmosphere causes them to recount their own experiences of death and question all that surrounds it.
