THE REMAINS OF THE DAY
In the summer of 1956, Stevens, an ageing butler, has embarked on a six-day
motoring trip through the West Country. But his holiday is disturbed by the
memories of his past service to the late Lord Darlington, and most of all by the
painful recollections of his friendship with the housekeeper, Miss Kenton. For
the first time in his life, Stevens is forced to wonder if all his actions were for the
best after all ... A sad and humorous love story, and a witty meditation on the
democratic responsibilities of the ordinary man.
