Yorkshire - 1750. This film tells the intertwined lives of two young teenagers: Tolly, an orphan apprenticed in a shop, and Belle, a young girl who has never fully recovered from a fever. Tolly's life needs an unwelcome turn when he is reluctantly locked in a room with a fictional corpse (let Franval play a role in the title). Blackjack is a very charming rogue who escapes by submitting to a throat cut, preventing a neck-hanging death. Blackjack captures Tolly and the two head down the road. At the same time, Belle is confined by her wealthy parents, making her mental state a matter of public knowledge and interfering with her sister's social climbing marriage to a caregiver - in the 1750s style, which is quite dreadful. In her transport sanctuary, a phased accidental release of a girl leads her to meet Tolly. There are various conspiracies and complications, but essentially Tolly's "doctor" begins to work, and a medical fair tour starts to revitalize throughout Yorkshire and Belle. Events are constantly maliciously influenced by Tolly, Hach, portrayed by Andrew Bennett as a hauntingly thin boy. The power of this film lies in its strong character development and the illumination of a past era. Most importantly, it speaks to the interaction between these two aspects, revealing a society's expectations of young people to be more mature, independent, and self-sufficient than we see now. We also witness a more official indifference and risks than the current standards in the UK.
