Passion. Can it survive being pursued into reality? This story of forbidden love and the sad aftermath of the end of the affair is then confronted by the possibility of continuation. Two different lives that cannot go into the future together. This is a powerful story of women in love and the physical and emotional euphoria of the consummation of their love. But when the young convalescent wife (Saorise Ronan) who is nursed back to health by the scientist (played by Kate Winslet) tries to buy their future together, reality steps in. Wow what a movie. Beautiful scenery, slow and moody and the ageless story of a love that cannot continue.
