Elizabeth Bennett (Kayla Knightley) comes from a small landlord family with four sisters, and her mother, Mrs. Bennett, spends her days looking for a suitable husband for her daughter. The new neighbor, Mr. Bingley, and his friend Darcy (Matthew McFidion) break the monotony of the family's country life. Bingerai and Elizabeth's sister Jane Bennett have an affair with each other; Darcy develops a crush on the kind and intelligent Elizabeth, but Elizabeth is prejudiced against Darcy's indomitable arrogance and does not accept his feelings. However, things are unpredictable, Bingley and Jane Bennett are in danger because of a misunderstanding, and Darcy's various actions show the same kind side of Elizabeth's personality, and gradually win Elizabeth's favor. Can two couples of lovers eventually become family members? Will the Bennet sisters get the life they want?

Jane Austen's portrait of English rural life and society in the early nineteenth century is re-presented on the big screen.
