The movie starts off as usual, with the distinguished guests heading to the hunting party of the manor owner in their own cars. The host greeted him at the door, the guests hurried upstairs to their guest rooms while complaining about the bad weather, and the servants—personal servants and servants of the manor—were busy downstairs where the masters could not see, The party happens to be their busiest time. It's about the time and place, and in a trance, you will mistakenly think that you are watching the hit British drama "Downton Abbey".
Everything has been revealed from the beginning. This is the routine of a suspense film, or a detective film. Some people are acting weird, could it be because of fake identities? Or, what secrets does he/she hide behind? you guessed right.

They seem to be two real-life people who have strayed into the drama, outsiders who are accidentally involved in complex events. They were curious and reckless, and they solved half of the sad truth on behalf of the audience. The other half of the truth is unraveled for us by another stray outsider - the countess' maid.
In the class-hardened Britain, generational masters and slaves are already axioms that do not need to be argued or resisted. A nobleman is an authority, but will rebelling against authority end well? Just hit the head and bleed blood. This is an ugly truth, but the sadness cannot be changed. What is even more sad is that the life of a slave is better than a life of hard labor.
