Two young, country sisters (Joely Richardson and Jodhi May) enter domestic service in the bourgeois household of a penurious widow (Julie Walters) and her homely daughter (Sophie Thursfield). Neither pair speaks to the other: two sets of women separated and confined by social convention, personality, and the house itself. The relationship of the sisters slowly evolves into obsession, brought about by isolation and by emotions left from childhood.
