Plot

Tasteful tale of illicit longings in Edwardian England, sumptuously adapted from EM Forster's novel. Wilby gives a sensitive portrayal of the high-class homosexual searching for fulfillment in the face of prejudice, while Grant succumbs to the pressures of society. Beautiful period romance set in the early 20th Century..
