It's the Dark Ages: you can tell because there are Britons and Saxons, and the vague memory of King Arthur. But all memories are vague, or non-existent. Beatrice and Axl are an elderly couple who, though they can't remember much about their lives together, suddenly remember that they had a son, and decide to visit him.
( non-spoilery )
