Timothys father decides its time for him to take on the family taxidermy business, while Naomi dreams of a career on the stage.Across the decades their lives continue to interweave, and occasionally cross - bound by the pull of intoxicating first love. But will their destinies ultimately unite them?Nobbs moves his exceptional comic talent to a new-found depth. Memorable and moving, a tale of love won and love lost.
