This was an English-speaking movie I saw on TV, sometime back in the mid-late 90s. It was about a group of elderly women (maybe sisters?), but it would flashback to scenes of those women portrayed by younger actresses. There’s a scene in a flashback segment where I think one woman is being painted nude in a bathtub by her painter husband/lover, and then one scene in a present segment where there’s a storm and someone’s manuscript gets blown out into a pond, and one of the old women wades into the water to get the pages back. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Thanks in advance!
