Four young Australian orphans are sent away from their convent to a seaside village to spend their summer holidays. When they get to the village, they soon find themselves in competition as they each try to win over a young childless couple in the hope of getting them to adopt one of them

This movie didn't really go anywhere. The main children had little no personality to differentiate them from each other, and if it wasn't for Harry Potter being in it then most people would probably have never heard of it. The voice over was patronising, and made the film feel more like an episode of Jackanory than anything else. Still, if you like slow paced melodrama, then this might be just the ticket.
