Saffron Burrows (Deep Blue Sea) and Peter Mullan (Trainspotting) deliver riveting performances in this tale of desire, passion and betrayal that pits upper-class against lower-class in a superbly staged battle between the sexes. With a script based on August Strindberg's famous play and written for the screen by Helen Cooper, Oscar nominated director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas) presents a taut and intimate story, holding you with the intensity of his vision and his mastery of nuance from beginning to end. On a late 19th-century estate, a celebration of wine and beer lets loose inhibitions... and inner passions. Jean (Mullan), the Count's footman, takes the advances of the Count's daughter (Burrows) too far with a scandalous encounter in the kitchen. And over one night, it becomes clear that these two lost souls desperately need each other in order to escape the confines... and trappings... of their lives. But can a servant support a noblewoman, who, without her father's money, is no more privileged than he?
