Directed by Saul Dibb, Based on a true story, Duchess of Devonshire, The romantic entanglements of Georgiana Cavendish, a beautiful and clever woman who becomes a celebrity of British high society when she marries the Duke of Devonshire and becomes consort to one of the most powerful men in England. Beloved for her trend-setting fashion designs as well as her political activism, Georgiana’s fire and wit make her a beloved figure everywhere but her own home, where her cold and distant husband’s control over her is stifling, soon sending her into the arms of a another man -an act that soon forces her to learn about the brutal difference in the rights afforded to 18th century men and women.
