Adam Verver, a US billionaire in London, dotes on daughter Maggie. An impecunious Italian, Prince Amerigo, marries her even though her best friend, Charlotte Stant, is his lover. She and Amerigo keep this secret from Maggie, so Maggie interests her widowed father in Charlotte, who is happy with the match because she wants to be close to Amerigo. Charlotte desires him, the lovers risk discovery, Amerigo longs for Italy, Maggie wants to spare her father's pain, and Adam wants to return to America to build a museum. Amidst lies and artifice, what fate awaits adulterers?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A carefully composed portrait of desire and deception simmering beneath drawing-room politesse, where everyone is trapped by what they cannot say. The film moves at the pace of a James novel, unhurried but relentlessly focused on the emotional stakes beneath each gesture.
