Storyline
In 1958 post-war Britain, Stevens, the butler of Darlington Hall, receives a letter from Miss Kenton, a former colleague employed as the housekeeper some twenty years earlier, now separated from her husband. Stevens and Kenton occasionally butt heads, particularly when she observes that Stevens’s father is in failing health and no longer able to perform his duties, which Stevens stubbornly refuses to acknowledge.
