In 1929 England, Mrs. Whittaker (played by Kristin Scott Thomas) is the head of an aristocratic family, carefully managing household affairs and balancing the relationships between her husband (Colin Firth) and their two daughters. However, everything is disrupted with the return of her eldest son, John Whittaker (played by Ben Barnes). John's wife is the striking American racer, Larita (played by Jessica Biel), whose many behaviors are viewed as extravagant by her traditional mother-in-law. Additionally, the two daughters disapprove of her and feel pity for their brother. When Larita goes out with her husband's friends, while others elegantly ride horses, she zooms by on a motorcycle. In moments of isolation, she confides in her father-in-law, and they even dance together at a ball. This leads to an escalating conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... This film is adapted from Noël Coward's play, and Kristin Scott Thomas received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the British Independent Film Awards for her performance. The film was also selected for screening at the Toronto Film Festival, marking Jessica Biel's voice debut.
