A rule-bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A restrained meditation on duty and regret, following a butler's quiet internal struggle as romance beckons and historical darkness threatens to pierce his rigid world. The film moves between past and present, gradually revealing what was sacrificed in the name of propriety.
