From the dawn of time to the battle of Jutland, the Ambrose family tree has always maintained its ability to create a long line of distinguished naval officers, until now. Captain William Horatio Ambrose (Guinness) has tried hard to preserve his family's tradition but unfortunately suffers from chronic sea sickness... Ambrose retires from service and buys a decrepit amusement pier in a small coastal town. (StudioCanal UK)
