Eldest sister Elinor Dashwood (Emma Thompson) cannot help but be reserved and thoughtful, whilst free-spirited Marianne (a 19-year-old Kate Winslet) overflows with passion and will. When their father’s death renders them homeless due to half-brother John and his wife Fanny (a wonderfully wicked Harriet Walter) inheriting their family home, Elinor and Marianne must grapple with being considered preying “penniless women” by some, as they attempt to carve space for love within the necessary business of marriage.

A rich supporting cast, including Gemma Jones, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Imelda Staunton and Hugh Laurie, further enhance this moving and funny drama.
