A tense, psychologically probing adaptation of Strindberg's play about class and desire, where a doomed romance becomes a battleground for social resentment and power.

Based on the play by August Strindberg, Miss Julie vividly depicts the battle of the sexes and classes that ensues when Julie, a wealthy businessman's daughter, falls for Jean, her father's bitter servant.
