Miss Julie

Based on Strindberg's play about a 19th-century Swedish aristocrat who falls in love with a servant. On Midsummer's Eve in 1894 a family's servants gather for a dance. The worldly-wise young footman is engaged to one of the cooks, but the Count's daughter, naíve but imperious, demands he dance with her instead. They talk through the night and slip into an affair, but will they dare to defy social convention?
