On July 21st 1792, Mary and Emma settled their differences the only way they knew how: a duel to the death!

Description from producers

Deloping takes viewers on a hilarious journey to the British countryside in 1792, where two women, Mary and Emma, are preparing for a pistol duel. As they exchange witty banter, it becomes clear that Emma is not skilled in counting and shooting. This leads to several hilarious moments of confusion and miscommunication.

As the tension builds towards the impending duel, the music adds to the suspense. However, when Emma fires her gun in the air, intentionally missing Mary, things take a comedic turn. Mary and Emma continue to bicker, with Mary's exasperation at her friend's ineptitude adding to the humour. They debate why Mary brought more than one bullet. "It's what the men do," Mary says.

The witty and playful dialogue between Mary and Emma makes for an enjoyable comedy. Emma's lack of experience and Mary's exasperation provide ample opportunity for humour. Will the two women ever successfully complete their duel?

Deloping is a clever and entertaining comedy celebrating the absurdity of a pistol duel. The film leaves audiences guessing until the very end, with a shocking conclusion. With its charming characters and witty writing, Deloping is sure to leave viewers laughing and entertained.
