Archipelago is a 2010 British drama film written and directed by Joanna Hogg and starring Tom Hiddleston, Kate Fahy, Lydia Leonard, Amy Lloyd, and Christopher Baker.

He recently quit his job in the city to travel to Africa, where he will perform volunteer work to promote safe sex and combat the spread of AIDS.

To see him off, his mother Patricia and sister Cynthia have organised a family holiday and bon voyage party in a cottage in Tresco on the Isles of Scilly.

Even with the exclusion of Chloe, they have nonetheless invited some outsiders: Christopher, a local painter who has been hired to teach Patricia how to paint the beautiful surrounding landscapes, and Rose, a professional cook.

The website's critical consensus states: "Sad, funny, and wise in equal measure, Archipelago finds writer-director Joanna Hogg in remarkably strong, confident form".

[11][12][13] Comedian Stewart Lee briefly references Archipelago in his 2012 standup show Carpet Remnant World, where he describes it as "an art film about middle-class people on a disappointing holiday".
