Messaggero d'amore (1971)
Inghilterra, estate del 1900. Leo, un bambino di tredici anni, trascorre le vacanze nella tenuta di campagna di un amico. Qui l'aristocratica Marian ha una storia d'amore con il fattore Ted e i due amanti si servono di lui per scambiarsi appuntamenti e lettere appassionate. Il conformismo e l'ipocrisia della società avranno però il sopravvento e anche la personalità di Leo ne verrà segnata irrimediabilmente.
