Love in the Time of Cholera
How long would you wait for love?
Directed by Mike Newell
Produced by New Line Cinema, Summit Entertainment
A sweeping, melancholic meditation on enduring love across decades, tracing the arc from youthful passion through separation and marriage to a final, tender reunion.
In Colombia just after the Great War, an old man falls from a ladder; dying, he professes great love for his wife. After the funeral, a man calls on the widow - she dismisses him angrily. Flash back more than 50 years to the day Florentino Ariza, a telegraph boy, falls in love with Fermina Daza, the daughter of a mule trader.
