In 1950’s suburbia, a young woman dreams of escaping the ho-hum monotony of baking casseroles and homemaking. Instead she longs for the intrigue and romance of the 18th century French Court idolising Marie Antoinette’s Versailles for its lavish fashions and extravagance. Looking out the window and across the patio at her row of neat tyre swan planters... she dreams those white swans are skimming gracefully across the ponds of the Queen’s Hamlet. In a simple gesture of royal elegance.
