What happens

The Place at the Coast is a 1987 Australian drama film directed by George Ogilvie and starring John Hargreaves. Given the working title "The Bee Eater", it was based on an unpublished novel by Jane Hyde, provisionally called "At Kilkee" but subsequently published with the same name as the film.
