Description
Newland Archer, a young lawyer, is bound by the conventions of his upper-class world in 1870s New York. His engagement to May Welland ensures his place within the elite, but the arrival of the exotic Countess Olenska disrupts his life. The Countess, a divorcee, is ostracised by society, yet Newland is drawn to her wit and determination. As he becomes acquainted with her, he begins to feel in a way he never has before, torn between his passion and his obligation.
