The French Lieutenant's Woman
1981 · Movie · 123 min. · United Kingdom
A film is being made of a story, set in 19th century England, about Charles, a biologist who's engaged to be married, but who falls in love with outcast Sarah, whose melancholy makes her leave him after a short, but passionate affair.
