O calatorie initiatica in timpul careia tanara femeie va intelege adevaratul sens al vietii si al dragostei si va ajunge sa se descopere pe sine insasi.
Doi actori fenomenali, o superba poveste de dragoste plasata intr-un decor autentic si un scenariu de Oscar. Pe scurt, Valul pictat.Inspirat dupa romanul clasic al lui Somerset Maugham, filmul aduce pe panza ecranului de cinema povestea emotionanta a unui tanar cuplu britanic.
Pentru Kitty superficialitatea burgheziei londoneze confera refugiul ideal. Din momentul in care familia a refuzat sa-i mai sustina modul de viata capricios, singura ei scapare a venit din partea lui Walter, doctorul timid care a cerut-o de sotie si i-a propus sa se mute la Shanghai.La prima vedere Walter degaja elaganta si bunele maniere ale gentleman-ului perfect. Un intelectual introvertit, dar care stie sa profite de beneficiile conferite de statutul de doctor.
Summary: This love story has Kitty meeting young, intelligent, shy and somewhat dull Dr. Walter Fane, whose forte is the study of infectious diseases, and the convenient marriage that she finds herself committed to. It is in this web of intrigue that they head for China, only after Walter discovers Kitty’s infidelity with one dashing and witty diplomat Charlie Townsend. So much as to hide her from herself and to help thwart a cholera outbreak, this is a marriage more than on the rocks. This is a cold, indifferent and loveless partnership in a vast unknown and deadly environment that will test both these flightless lovebirds and with the hardships and tolerances more than any had ever anticipated. A visual delight amid the pain and suffering of a dying people and failing marriage. Will a cure be found for both, before it’s too late?
