A young woman is hired as a maid to an heiress who lives a secluded life on a large countryside estate with her domineering uncle. But, the maid has a secret: she is a pickpocket recruited by a swindler posing as a gentleman to help him seduce the heiress to elope with him, rob her of her fortune, and lock her up in a madhouse. The plan seems to proceed according to plan until the women discover some unexpected emotions.
Why watch it
The BBC's adaptation of Sarah Waters' Fingersmith β the very novel Park Chan-wook would later transform into The Handmaiden β kept in its original Victorian England across three episodes. Sally Hawkins and Imelda Staunton star; BAFTA-nominated. If you've seen The Handmaiden, comparing the faithful original is half the fun.
