Keeping Mum is a 2005 British black comedy film starring Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Scott Thomas, Maggie Smith and Patrick Swayze. In the opening scene, as pregnant young Rosie Jones rides on a train, her very large trunk starts leaking blood. When questioned by the police, she calmly reveals that the two dismembered bodies inside are of her unfaithful husband and his mistress. She is then sentenced by the judge to a secure unit for the criminally insane for manslaughter. Forty-three years later, in the village of Little Wallop, Walter Goodfellow, the vicar is very busy writing the perfect... sermon for a conference, having no idea about the problems in his house, which include the unfulfilled sexual needs of his wife Gloria who subsequently starts an affair with her golf instructor, Lance ; the rebellious nature of his daughter Holly who constantly picks up new boyfriends; and son Petey who is bullied by schoolmates. Then everything changes with the arrival of the new housekeeper Grace .
