The story
The film is set in the Midlands mining town of Beldover in 1920.
Ursula is a school teacher and Rupert is a school inspector; she remembers his visit to her classroom, interrupting her botany lesson to discourse on the sexual nature of the catkin.
When Rupert follows her into the next room, she smashes a glass paperweight against his head, and he staggers outside.
