Slovenski opis filma:

Mladi Anglež naklepa maščevanje svoji skrivnostni čedni sestrični, ki naj bi umorila njegovega skrbnika. Vendar je čustveno vse bolj razdvojen, ko ugotovi, da je nazadnje podlegel njeni očarljivosti in lepoti.Temačna in zapletena ljubezenska zgodba se v 19. stoletju odvija v Angliji. Pripoved spremlja Philipa Ashleya (Sam Claflin), ki podeduje čudovito angleško posest svojega bratranca Ambrosa; ta je siroto Philipa vzgajal kot lastnega sina. Ambrose se je v Italiji, kjer je naposled tudi umrl, zaljubil v Rahelo, žensko angleških in italijanskih korenin. Philip začne dvomiti o naravni smrti bratranca in je do njegove soproge nadvse sumničav. Ko skrivnostna in čedna Rahela (Rachel Weisz) prispe na angleško posest, mora Philip odkriti resnico; vendar je čustveno vse bolj razdvojen, ko ugotovi, da je podlegel njeni očarljivosti in lepoti. Klasični roman angleške pisateljice Daphne Du Maurier iz leta 1951 je doživel filmsko priredbo v scenariju in režiji Rogerja Michella.

Originalni opis filma:

Philip, an orphan, was taken in and brought up by his cousin Ambrose, a Devon landowner he loves like a father. At a time, Ambrose, who has been advised by his physician a warmer climate, leaves for Tuscany. There he meets and marry Rachel, a half-Italian cousin of his. After an idyllic outset, the situation deteriorates. Shortly before his death, Ambrose manages to alert Philip: his wife is killing him slowly. Willing to sort out the truth, Philip goes to Ambrose's place but he does not find Rachel, who has gone away. Instead he meets Rainaldi, her friend and lawyer, who does not inspire him with confidence. He returns to his estate, persuaded that Rachel is evil and is the direct cause of Ambrose's death. Some time later, Rachel announces her coming. Determined to welcome her coolly, he is stunned to discover a woman not only beautiful but elegant, intelligent and sensitive. Instead of strangling her like he said he would, he falls in love. Madly.
