Description

Description

In this adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles, Tess is a poor British peasant girl sent to live with her distant and wealthy relatives. Tess’ father hopes that she will inherit a portion of the D’Urberville riches, but he doesn’t realise that the family are not D’Urbervilles at all – they are social climbers who have bought the name.
