- A Period Comedy which explores the eccentricities of cultural imperialism in a very English, stiff upper-lip kind of way! It is also a story of our times, where husband and wife are separated through conflict (Iraq, Afghanistan) and here is observed through the lens of the extravagances of Englishness. Rolls Barking stands for this dominant world-view; of making the whole world England. He cannot see the madness and the human cost of his view; which is personified in Bentley's character, by a palpable vulnerability. Millicent is the redemptive thread, understanding that her husband is a casualty of War, but that the two reunited will allow Bentley to secede the Politics of those who deem themselves 'the fittest'. The film is set in a Military Mental Institution, post WW1.
