Thomas Vinterberg's classic English period drama about a young woman whose restoration of an old family estate is intertwined with love and rivalry intrigues.

Highly educated and strong-willed, Batsheba arrives in the picturesque countryside, where she intends to live and work with an elderly relative. There, she meets the charming shepherd Mr. Oak, whose proposal she rejects. When a large inheritance from a wealthy uncle comes her way, she embarks on a new chapter of her life. Before her lies a run down but once-successful estate, which she is now left to manage on her own. The restoration of the estate begins, in this star-studded period drama, where Mr. Oak is not the only suitor. Vinterberg's magnificent adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 1874 novel is a beautiful Victorian genre film about love, desire, and rivalry.
