A tragicomedy of manners that explores the conflicts between generations, sexes, and social classes in turn-of-the-century London. The plot revolves around the love affair between Nanda Brookenham, a young and innocent girl from a prominent family, and Julius Longdon, a charming but unscrupulous journalist. Their relationship is complicated by the machinations of Nanda’s mother, Lady Julia, and various other members of the high society.
