In London in 1932, Dolores Diver and Harry Gibson have loved each other since meeting at the Chelsea Arts Ball, but Harry’s fur business is close to failure. To obtain the money needed to save it, he agrees to marry the daughter of his business associate, leaving Dolores to accept that financial necessity has defeated a relationship sustained for ten years.
Dolores’s nine-year-old niece Martha sees people without regard for conventional beauty and quietly records them through drawing. Her observations, Harry’s grasping fiancée and the schemes of Dolores’s lodger complicate the proposed marriage. The comedy treats love as a way of seeing value that the market and respectable society repeatedly fail to recognise.
