Hyde Park on Hudson (2012)

In the heart of the 1930s, nestled in New York's idyllic Hyde Park, Margaret "Daisy" Suckley finds herself embarking on an unexpected journey of companionship and self-discovery. A distant cousin of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Daisy's life intertwines with his in a delicate dance as she becomes his confidante, a beacon of solace from the relentless pressures of political life. Daisy, once a silent spectator, now finds herself an integral part of the President's world, a private haven amidst the turbulence of his public life. Their relationship blossoms into something more profound as Daisy becomes an essential figure in the Roosevelt household, navigating a world populated by a cavalcade of different women, including the formidable First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt. This newfound intimacy with the President places Daisy in a unique position, especially when the Roosevelts play host to the first-ever visit by a reigning British monarch to the United States. King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, reluctant monarchs thrust into power by Edward VIII's abdication, seek to secure American support on the eve of another cataclysmic world war. In the midst of the visit's elaborate arrangements and the ensuing diplomatic ballet, Daisy finds herself grappling with the complexities of her relationship with Roosevelt. Confronted with unexpected revelations about the President's connections with the other women in the house, Daisy is left to reconcile her feelings and renegotiate her place in Roosevelt's life. As the world teeters on the brink of war, the historic weekend unfolds, offering new friendships, startling insights, and a deeper understanding of a great leader who is, after all, very human. The story of Hyde Park on Hudson is a rich tapestry of personal relationships and global politics, of the ordinary and the extraordinary, woven together in a time that would change the world forever.
