Children's book author Margot arrives in Cape Cod to celebrate one last Christmas at her family's house before they sell it. The siblings think it will be too expensive to keep it after their parents pass away. Margot arrives a few days before the others to prepare the house for last Christmas. She is the one who finds it difficult to accept that they will sell because she has so many fond memories in the house from her childhood. In the city, she meets Christian, who was her best friend in childhood. He moved away when they were still young but has now returned and opened a gallery for his paintings. Margot gets the idea to hire Chrisitian to paint the house in an attempt to convince her siblings not to sell.
This is a very well made romantic movie. Although the story feels familiar from other films, the execution is much better. The romance can develop at a leisurely pace, even if you feel that the feelings from childhood remain. The conflict between the siblings is also portrayed well and feels genuine.
