Amma Asante directs this British period drama inspired by the 1779
painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle and her cousin Lady Elizabeth
Murray. Dido (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is the daughter of English Naval
captain Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode) and an African woman. Sent
to England to be raised on the Kenwood House Estate by her uncle,
Lord Mansfield (Tom Wilkinson), Dido quickly realises that her
ethnicity is problematic in upper class society. Though her cousin
Elizabeth (Sarah Gadon) accepts her friendship immediately and the
girls become inseparable, Lord Mansfield and Lady Mansfield (Emily
Watson) are tormented by the question of Dido's social status. As
Dido points out, it leaves her in a somewhat lonely position to be
deemed 'too good' to dine with the servants and 'not good enough'
to entertain visitors, but when she meets dashing young lawyer John
Davinier (Sam Reid) she discovers an Englishman who accepts her as
she is and offers his hand in marriage. Can the couple's love
overcome the conventions and prejudices of the time?
