The life of Ferdinand, an aspiring German novelist, changes dramatically on the day he spies a beautiful harpist floating upon a seashell off the shore of the Baltic island where he lives. It is not a vision he sees, but a photo shoot featuring Rebecca, a popular Irish musician. He decides to try to be near her but is constantly thwarted. When she goes to Hamburg to give a concert, the young writer follows. It is the enigmatic and sinister Henry who gives him a ride. With Henry's entrance, the story becomes a thriller as both men seem to be obsessed with Rebecca. The difference is, while Ferdinand simply wants to meet her, Henry has much darker intentions. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

The British Business as Usual stars Glenda Jackson and John Thaw as the husband-and-wife managers of a boutique. When a huge store chain purchases Jackson and Thaw's establishment, chain executive Eamon Boland is sent to check out the place. It seems, however, that he's more interested in checking out pretty boutique employee Cathy Tyson. Jackson slaps a sexual harrassment charge on Boland, who uses this contretemps as an excuse to fire her from her own store. Down but not out, Jackson conducts a determined public campaign to get her job back and to put Boland in his place. Business as Usual makes no bones about its anti-Margaret Thatcher, anti-Big Business political stance. While this aspect of the film might be lost on American viewers, the plight of Glenda Jackson's character is all too familiar. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
