Sisters Elle and Mare Dashwood return home after the death of their father and find themselves navigating grief, financial uncertainty, romantic disappointment and the fundamental question that Austen posed two centuries ago and that remains as urgent as ever: is it wiser to feel everything or to feel nothing? Is the heart to be trusted or must the head always win?
 
Elinor, the older sister, holds everything in. Marianne, the younger, feels everything completely and without apology. Neither is entirely right. Neither is entirely wrong. And watching them find their way toward each other, toward healing and toward a version of love that does not require them to betray themselves, is one of the most quietly therapeutic experiences in classic literature brought beautifully to contemporary life.
