When Raymonde Chandebise (Lisa Dillon) believes her husband, Victor Emmanuel (Tom Hollander) is having an affair, she and her old friend Lucienne devise what they believe is a simple plan to catch him out. However, their plan misfires when the letter they have sent sets in motion a myriad of confusion and suspicion, involving everyone from the servants to a member of the Spanish aristocracy.
