October 1921. Lady Constance Chatterley and Lord Clifford Chatterley, her husband, have been living at their estate in Wragby for the last couple of years. Four years earlier, and a few months after their marriage, Clifford, then a lieutenant in the British Army, was wounded in Flanders and returned home paralyzed from the waist down. Constance lives a colorless existence, a prisoner of her sense of duty. She grows listless and indifferent. With the coming of spring, she enjoys taking walks in the forest amid the shimmering nature. This is the domain of Parkin, the Chatterley’s gamekeeper, who lives alone in a carefully maintained solitude. The film dramatizes Parkin’s physical intrusion into Constance’s life. It is the story of an encounter, a difficult domestication, the gradual awakening of her sensual self, and his slow return to life. But once the contact is made, their long road leads both to true love. Within the framework of their Lady Chatterley relationship, they must reinvent the world.
