In order to escape a hectic stateside lifestyle, David and his wife relocate to the small town in rural Cornwall where Amy was raised.

The character played by Dustin Hoffman throws fruit at a cat. You can see the cat get hit once, but he throws more fruit while the cat is off-screen. Each time you can hear the cat yowl.
