Shirley Valentine (1989) on Netflix

Plot summary

Shirley Valentine is 42 and lives in Liverpool with her husband and children. The marriage has settled into a routine that leaves her with few friends, and she feels the household treats her like a servant. She talks to the wall while she cooks. Her friend Jane wins a holiday for two in Greece and asks Shirley to come; Shirley doubts herself and only agrees after her neighbor Gillian offers unexpected support and Marjorie Majors, an old school enemy, admits she once envied Shirley's rebellious streak. In Greece, Jane goes off with a man she met on the flight, and Shirley is left alone among holidaymakers who want British food and familiar entertainment. She meets Costas Dimitriades, who runs a tavern nearby, and he helps her drink wine by the seashore.
