Summerland (2020)
Alice, whom the area children believe to be a witch due to her loner lifestyle and perma-scowl, has to take in London evacuee Frank during World War II. Frank manages to keep his spirits up despite Alice's frostiness, which begins to melt a bit as their time together wears on. Flashbacks inform us about the source of Alice's heartbreak years before, which helps us root for them both.
A really lovely story, simply told.
