Enduring Love -- Two strangers become dangerously close after witnessing a deadly accident.

Persuasion -- Seven years after their breakup, a spinster and an impoverished sailor attempt to rekindle their aborted romance.

Joe (Daniel Craig, Road to Perdition) is an accomplished writer and professor whose rational life is thrust into a downward spiral of guilt after witnessing a freak, fatal ballooning accident while picnicking with girlfriend Claire (Samantha Morton, Minority Report). Jed (Rhys Ifans, Notting Hill), another man involved in that fateful day, seeks out Joe looking for consolation and a way to make sense of this tragedy they’ve both witnessed. Jed soon becomes as inescapable to Joe as his guilt, and both men find themselves hurtling towards a final, terrifying choice driven by the destructive nature of obsession or the true endurance of love. Based on the acclaimed novel by Ian McEwan, Enduring Love is a psychological thriller about how fate shapes our relationships, how accidents can change our lives forever and how meaning is unraveled from sheer chaos.
