The Pages live in a ramshackle house in six acres of woodland. The trees cut them off from the outside world, and isolated in their island-clearing, they let the 20th Century slowly pass them by. It is a simple life without modern amenities. The sons earn what little money they need by doing casual repairs to machinery - a permanent obsession of Mr. Page and his sons. The wood is littered with rusty iron carcasses: a pile of gigantic spanners. Most spectacular are the archaic steam traction-engines which the men tinker with and drive thunderously about the woodland. The girls have their special preoccupations: Nancy has her embroidery; Kathy tends her garden and plays the piano rotting away outside. Gradually each member of the family spells out their personal fantasies and philosophies. For all their prodigious skills they seem at first eccentric, quaint; their ideas tangential to our own. But in the end it emerges that they are in control of their world in a way we can never be.
