In 1861, gentlemen gather at the Portobello plantation manor house to bid farewell to the Bedford family daughter, Valette. The only man not rushing off to fight in the Civil War is Valette’s cousin, Duncan Bedford. Believing that “Americans should not fight Americans”, pacifist Duncan does not join the Confederate troops until their situation becomes hopeless. Although he proclaims his love for Valette, that is put to the test when he finds her tending a wounded Yankee soldier in her bed. (Berlinale)
