The story unfolds in England in the 1920s. The manor in the mist looks magnificent and dignified under the hard work of the hostess Veronica, but it is hard to hide its decline. And the men of that country were also hit hard at that time. Compared with those who died on the battlefield, those who returned only brought back a body, and escaping from reality and responsibility became the only way for them to heal their wounds, and the manor of the manor, Jim Witke, was one of them.
Veronica, who continued to be the mainstay of the wartime family, tried to save the family property and land through the popular local marriage. Unable to count on her two daughters who were not in good shape, Veronica put all her expectations on her son John Witke, who was about to return from a long trip. However, the flash marriage wife brought back by John Witke, the bright and moving American racing beauty Lalita, not only broke Veronica's marriage abacus, but also challenged her with her sexy dress, bold words and deeds, insisting on "being yourself" and an uncompromising attitude. With Veronica's selfishness as a mother and the authority of the head of the family. The struggle between the American daughter-in-law and the British mother-in-law is imminent.
In fact, at the center of the swirl of struggle is the conflict between Lalita's new ideas of American individualism and Veronica's traditional ideas of the great British family. And all kinds of rumors that robbed the Witke family of their daughters and brought shame to the Witke family also made this relationship worse. As a result, the struggle went from the dining table to the flower room, from the oil painting to the horse farm... As the struggle intensified, the sphere of influence between the two sides gradually became clear. On Lalita's side, there were domestic servants who were dissatisfied with the oppression of British class ideology, tired of the patriarchal system of women's rights. Jim, the master of the husband and wife relationship; Dramatically, John, who originally stood beside Lalita, was shaken in this tug of war between love and family, distance and homeland, freedom and responsibility.
Since this is a struggle between two opposing ideas, there is no way to distinguish right and wrong from black and white. Could it be that Veronica took the initiative to find her husband and Xiaolangzi, whose spiritual home was broken, because of the family crisis and responsibility, was it a moral and family kidnapping? Is it true that Lalita is wise and brave to challenge audio-visual in the traditional big family soil? So what should be condemned are the cruel methods and exclusive and deep-rooted prejudice of the people who open up Lalita's old scars, and John's slag who is shaken in the marriage in the name of family responsibility. The writer of the script, obviously because he has been depressed for too long in the shadow of the traditional British family, has stood up to the freedom and freedom of new ideas in this struggle.
It is impossible to fight without sacrifice, and there is no real winner in the struggle. The wounds that life once brought to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been brought to light again: retaining and letting go, facing the same problem, they still made the same choice in their hearts. In the end, John stayed and Jim left, like a cross of fate, but it was the choice of John and Jim, and it was also a confession to Veronica and Lalita. It is always inevitable to confront some "difficulties" in life. Since regret is the price of every choice, it is better to use your own beliefs to take the initiative in life, not to be eaten up by sadness, not to be changed by rumors, even if your heart is broken. Can turn gracefully.

Aside from the hasty stance of culture and thought, the comedy section of the film is still very good, and the soundtrack and picture processing are also beautiful and romantic, and there are many classics.
