Rural England, 1865. Katherine is stifled by her loveless marriage to a man twice her age, whose family are cold and unforgiving. In this constrictive milieu, she finds carnal release with one of her husband’s servants, but there are profound consequences to her infidelity. A rousing parable about the price of freedom, boasting an outstanding cast. “Imagine Alfred Hitchcock directing Wuthering Heights and you'll get an idea of William Oldroyd's tense period drama.” - IndieWire.
