An American woman, trapped in a loveless marriage with a devious politician, meets a Lebanese man living in exile. They begin a passionate, carefree affair, despite a conflict between their illicit love and religious beliefs, and travel from London to Belfast, Beirut and Havana.

With her signature sensuality and ingenuity, Sally Potter (Orlando) depicts the cruelties of class, gender, and religious divides in this intercultural tale of illicit romance. A vivid drama told in blank verse, Yes is a major work from one of Britain’s most consistently ambitious filmmakers.
