Upper class Marian is about to be engaged to viscount Hugh, her perfect match. Over the course of a Norfolk summer in 1900, young Leo becomes besotted with Marian whilst staying at their house. Innocent of sexual matters, he becomes a pawn in the forbidden romance between her and local farmer Ted.

This brooding, Palme d’Or-winning romance across classes, starring Julie Christie & Alan Bates, marks Joseph Losey’s last collaboration with Harold Pinter. With tantalizing flashforwards and gorgeous period details, it explores the deep pull of nostalgia, asking how the past can impact the present.
