From acclaimed filmmaker Jane Treays, a beautiful observational documentary following the British Debutante season.

Traditionally the heartbeat of upper class British social life, ‘The London Season’ has evolved in the 21st century to ensure teenage daughters of Britain’s elite continue to mix with other youngsters from similar stock as they glide through a summer of cocktails and charity work.

This documentary explores how these teenagers take their first tentative steps towards becoming young women in the heart of London's most sophisticated social scene and why the girls are drawn to the idea of becoming a debutante in an age of social equality.
