Description:
In Victorian England, the film centers on Henry Hobson and his family boot shop in Salford. A widower who runs his business with a harsh hand and enjoys the local pub, Hobson keeps his three daughters as unpaid workers. To protect his fortune, he forbids their marriages due to the high cost of marriage settlements – five hundred pounds each. But Maggie, his oldest daughter, decides to defy her father's controlling rules. The story explores family relationships, societal expectations, and the fight for personal independence within a male-dominated world.
