The more I know about the world, the more I am convinced that I will never see a man I can truly love. I need so much!
Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the handsome but inappropriate John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that his impulsive behavior leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile, Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to hide her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love — and their threat — the sisters learn that meaning must be mixed with sensitivity to find personal happiness in a society where status and money rule the rules of love.
