"Florence, Italy, 1912. Lucy Honeychurch is eager for adventure, but finds herself in a safe haven of English tourists, spinsters and clergymen. More dangerously, she makes the acquaintance of the socialist Mr. Emerson and his son George. Sparks fly between Lucy and George, but Lucy does her best to ignore them. After an astute observer purposefully mistranslates her request for 'the good men' (clergymen) and sends her into the arms of 'a good man,' Lucy receives a passionate kiss from George in the middle of a field of poppies. Profoundly shocked, but excited, Lucy is whisked away to Rome by her concerned chaperone, where she meets the most suitable Cecil Vyse. Back in England, George reappears as Lucy is on the brink of marriage to Cecil, declaring his love, determined to stop the wedding. How will Lucy choose between them? Or is she destined for a life of spinsterhood? This fresh, poignant adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic stars Elaine Cassidy (The Others), Laurence Fox (Inspector Lewis) and Rafe Spall (Dracula, Hot Fuzz) as George."--Container.
