In early-‘60s Britain, upper-class young violinist Florence Ponting (Saoirse Ronan) and upwardly mobile graduate student Edward Mayhew (Billy Howle) shared a profoundly felt--if chaste--courtship. However, the anticipated wedding night clumsily unfolded in disaster...and the repercussions would be felt throughout the balance of their lives. Absorbing drama co-stars Emily Watson, Samuel West, Anna-Marie Duff, Adrian Scarborough; Ian McEwan adapted his novella for the screen. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
