An invitation to a high-society ball sets young Olivia Curtis on a path of forbidden love and disgrace that will haunt her for the rest of her life! This glittering BBC production, based on the novel by Rosamond Lehmann, stars Michael York, Joanna Lumley, and Lisa Eichhorn. In 1920, seventeen year old Olivia (Eichhorn) receives a coveted invitation form Lady Spencer to attend a swanky ball. She is dazzled by the ease and beauty of the rich, assured Spencer family and their stylish friends. She is even more dazzled by Rollo Spencer (Michael York) and finds herself nursing a passion for him. It is a hopeless love. Rollo travels in circles far above hers, so she is forced to keep her feelings hidden. In the turbulent years between the two World Wars, Olivia grows more beautiful and more determined than ever to experience the excitement she tasted on that long-ago night. She abandons a dull, lifeless marriage for a hard won independence. Yet a chance encounter with Rollo, the handsome aristocrat who fascinated her years earlier, results in a scandal that will leave London's high society reeling. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)
