Synopsis:
It is 1900. Leo is thirteen years old. He visits his rich friend Markus on his rural estate in Norfolk. Leo becomes good friends with Markus' older sister Marian, a beautiful girl engaged to young Hugh. Marian sends Leo as her love messenger to the slightly debauched neighbor Ted Burgess. Can a love affair between the two neighbors remain secret? This love drama is a fierce critique of the British aristocracy and the class-divide at the end of 19th and beginning of 20th century.
