After Julius(1979)

After Julius is a British drama series based on Elizabeth Jane Howard's novel. Twenty years after a publisher's death in World War II, his family gathers at his widow's home for a weekend that unravels uncomfortable secrets about the man they thought they knew.

With sharp dialogue and period detail, After Julius examines what happens when a family's carefully constructed narrative collapses under scrutiny.
