A restrained, melancholic meditation on duty, regret, and the cost of emotional repression, told through the fractured memories of a butler who sacrificed love and moral clarity for loyalty.

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.
