Based on the short story 'On the Western Circuit' by Thomas Hardy. A young Barrister falls in love with a beautiful young girl at a country fair. He returns to London and begins to write to the beautiful girl. When she receives his letter she is thrilled but also in a quandary of what to do, as she can neither read nor write. Her kind Mistress reads the letter for her and thus begins the sending of and receiving of love letters. The film is beautifully presented and it will stay with you forever.
