Odessa Young plays Jane, the maid at a grand house ruled over by the sad Mr and Mrs Niven (Colin Firth and Olivia Colman) whose children were killed in the war.
Jane is enjoying an affair with a well-born young neighbour who is destined to marry someone else. This is a languorous, dreamy film that draws you into an irresistible and sensual story that is beautifully shot and acted.
