The year is 1957. In Northbridge, the Fairbairn home stands as a bastion of suburban order. Inside, Arthur, the stern veteran, enforces discipline with an unyielding grip, while Eleanor sustains the family with a gentle, steadfast devotion. Five children—athletic Francis, camera-toting Rowan, mischievous Tobias, sensitive Alistair, and little Daphne—navigate this world of starched collars and unwavering rules. The air hangs heavy with duty, affection, and the ever-present possibility of the strap. The stage is set for a life defined by post-war conformity.
