Storyline
In late-1800s London, the well-to-do Adelaide, over the objections of her family, marries her drawing teacher, impoverished artist Henry Lambert, and moves into his flat in the run-down street Britannia Mews. Henry soon proves himself to be an alcoholic who is more interested in drinking and pursuing his hobby of making elaborate marionettes than in completing his paintings.
