Synopsis

A chaotic weekend at a country estate turns into a hilarious disaster when a young domestic worker goes on the run. What follows is a series of frantic chases and absurd misunderstandings that lampoon the rigid class structures of the time. It is a spirited comedy that finds joy in the breakdown of social decorum and the triumph of the underdog. The frantic energy of the chase keeps the reader laughing until the very end.
