A tender, melancholic Regency romance about second chances and the enduring power of a love that never truly faded, grounded in social constraint and personal growth.
In early 19th-century England, dire financial straits reacquaint the aristocratic Anne Elliot with her wealthy ex-fiance Frederick Wentworth. The two must choose between either putting the past behind them or listening to their hearts.
