Film based on the renowned British TV series Downton Abbey. The action takes place on the fictitious Downton Abbey, in the Yorkshire villa of Count and Countess of Grantham, and follows the aristocratic life of the Crawley family and its servants during the reign of King George V.

The social classes presented in the film – the nobility and the servants – alternate along the action and compete to capture the attention of the viewer as much as possible. British humor is also missing from the landscape and events from the beginning of the 20th century are presented subtly and fairly .
