In early 20th century England, a young aristocrat finds herself trapped in an unhappy marriage with a paralyzed husband who seems more interested in her fortune than her emotional well-being. Constance’s life, a woman endowed with dazzling beauty and insatiable curiosity, becomes monotonous and sad in the cold atmosphere of her castle, where passion seems to have completely vanished. In search of liberation and satisfaction, her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets Oliver, the gamekeeper of the lord of the estate.
The contrast between the harshness of life on the land and the opulence of the aristocracy ignites a flame of desire and longing in Constance that had been extinguished for years. As her connection with Oliver deepens, she embarks on a bold and clandestine romance that defies the social conventions of her time. Their furtive encounters are charged with passion, but also with the anguish of living in a world where class differences and social expectations pose a tremendous obstacle.
Caught between duty and freedom, Constance must make difficult decisions that will lead her to redefine her identity and her role in a society that looks disapprovingly upon her quest for authentic love. Throughout this tumultuous journey, the story explores themes of love, liberation, and the struggle for desire in a context that still resists change.
