Clara is a retired music critic, a passionate lover, widow and grandmother with lively black hair. She is the last resident of 'Aquarius', an elegant seaside development built in the 1940s, and while her neighbours have already sold their flats to a determined private property developer planning to erect luxury flats, Clara refuses to leave her home.
