E.M. Forster’s masterpiece gets a fresh new adaptation, centering on the human drama of the independent and unconventional Schlegel sisters.
When the idealistic bohemia of Margaret and Helen Schlegel collides with the bourgeois prejudices of the well-to-do Wilcox family and the desperation of the impoverished Leonard Bast, the sisters find their lofty social ideals tested to their limits.
