In June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor host the King and Queen of England for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson in upstate New York — the first-ever visit of a reigning English monarch to America.

In this unusual look at one special weekend in the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the atypically cast Bill Murray captures the President with a melancholic charm. While WWII is on the horizon, the spirited biopic also has lavish picnics, a visit from the King of England, and even romantic intrigues.
