I Capture the Castle

A teenage girl named Cassandra Mortmain records the eccentric daily life of her impoverished family living in a decaying English castle during the 1930s. Her father is a novelist paralyzed by writer block, while her bohemian stepmother and older sister try to make ends meet. The arrival of two wealthy American brothers turns their quiet existence upside down, sparking unexpected romantic entanglements.
