Douce dreams of marrying her father’s steward, yet the steward pines for her tutor. This is only the first of many harsh truths that Douce struggles to accept in this poignant film, equal parts gripping melodrama and wry satire. What follows is a truly moving depiction of courtship and class.

Chiffon’s Marriage
