This is how DVD Netflix describes this television movie:
When Hortense (Naomie Harris) leaves her native island of Jamaica and lands in 1948 London, she dreams of making a better life for herself and expanding her social opportunities.
Instead, she’s confronted with racism and life’s harsh realities.
One of the harshest is her marriage of convenience to a man (David Oyelowo) she doesn’t love.
