Jalna

Canada, 1920s. The Whiteoak, an extended family of English origin, reside in Jalna, a magnificent estate in Ontario that owes its name to the city in India where the founders of the clan, Captain Philip Whiteoak and his wife met. Adeline. This, although already widowed and almost a hundred years old, is still the center around which all the children and grandchildren orbit, from little Wakefield, infallible when it comes to devising tricks not to study and steal pieces of cake, to the seductive Renny, the new head of the family. Life in Jalna, framed by the overwhelming beauty of Canadian nature, passes peacefully until two daughters-in-law recently joined the clan come to disturb the perfect balance: the very young Pheasant -the neighbor's illegitimate daughter, whose arrival will be welcomed as an outrage- and the American Alayne -who, on the contrary, will conquer everyone with her charms-.
