The movie is an amalgamation of the unrequited pursuit of two young lovers that are separated by choice but meet again by fate.

The movie starts with Anne talking about her breaking up with her long-time love, Wentworth. Her dad, Sir Walter, her eldest sister Elizabeth, and her youngest sister Mary are her family but never really understood her the way her mother and Wentworth did. The family is meanwhile trying to figure out where all the money went and how to pay the debts after her mother's death.

Anne gets visibly frustrated and is not sure what to do but just flows along with the moment.
