After their father’s sudden death, sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are left with no inheritance and forced to move to a modest cottage in the English countryside. As they adjust to their new life, the sisters navigate heartbreak, societal expectations, and the search for love. Directed with elegance by Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain) and adapted by Emma Thompson in an Oscar-winning screenplay, this Jane Austen classic is brought to life with deft wit and a subtly powerful feminist perspective.
