What happens

Love & Friendship is a 2016 period romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Whit Stillman. Based on Jane Austen's epistolary novel Lady Susan, written c. 1794, the film stars Kate Beckinsale, Chloë Sevigny, Xavier Samuel, and Emma Greenwell. The film follows recently widowed Lady Susan in her intrepid and calculating exploits to secure suitably wealthy husbands for her daughter and herself. Although adapted from Lady Susan, the film was produced under the borrowed title of Austen's juvenile story Love and Freindship. The film premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. Released theatrically on 13 May 2016, by Roadside Attractions and Amazon Studios in North America, the film received critical acclaim and was a box office success in North America, though it was not widely released (peaking at 826 theatres in its second week).
