Summer 1900: Queen Victoria’s last, and the summer Leo (Dominic Guard) turns thirteen. He’s the guest of Marcus (Richard Gibson), a wealthy classmate, at a grand house in rural Norfolk. Leo is befriended by Marian (Julie Christie), Marcus’ twenty-something sister, a beauty about to be engaged to Hugh (Edward Fox), a viscount and good fellow. Marian buys Leo a forest-green suit, takes him on walks, and asks him to carry messages to and from their neighbor, Ted Burgess (Sir Alan Bates), a bit of a rake. Leo is soon dissembling, realizes he’s betraying Hugh, but continues as the go-between nonetheless, asking adults naive questions about the attractions of men and women.

1900年夏天：维多利亚女王的末日，夏季狮子座（多米尼克卫士）13岁。他是富有同学马库斯（理查德·吉布森饰）在诺福克乡村一所豪宅的客人。马库斯二十几岁的妹妹玛丽安（朱莉·克里斯蒂饰）是利奥的朋友，她是一位即将与子爵兼好人休（爱德华·福克斯饰）订婚的美女。玛丽安给利奥买了一套森林绿西装，带他去散步，并让他带着他们的邻居泰德·伯吉斯（Ted Burgess，艾伦·贝茨爵士饰）的口信，这有点像耙子。利奥很快就开始掩饰自己，意识到自己背叛了休，但他还是继续充当中间人，天真地问成年人关于男人和女人吸引力的问题。—
