Set on the island of Mallorca, 'The Rocks' is a double love story told in reverse. Opening in 2005 with a dramatic event that seems to seal the mystery of two lives, the story moves backwards in time, unravelling over 60 years, amid the olive groves and bars, the boats and poolside parties, the lives and relationships of two intertwined families within an ex-pat community of endearing and flawed characters. As one story is revealed, another, sweeter one, a love story of a couple from the younger generation, arises in the wake of their elder's failures.
