(GB/Fra 2016)

In 1947 a London typist falls in love with an African who also happens to be the heir to his kingdom, that causes international tension.
Inspirational true story, that should be more moving than it is, perhaps because the courtship is rather rushed through and the English colonials are often comically villainous, despite the best that performances can do, which are generally quite strong.
