Vincent Perez and Rachel Weisz star with Sir Ian McKellen and Kathy Bates in this passionate film about star-crossed lovers. To everyone in her village, Amy Foster is thought of as strange, she is even shunned by her own family. Considered a witch by the more superstitious, she is accused of conjuring the fierce storm that causes a shipwreck. Only one man survives, and he is immediately drawn to Amy.

Caught between their passion for each other and the prejudice and hatred their love has ignited, Amy and her lover find themselves ensnared by the small-minded town folk in a haunting tale of courage, individuality and the resiliency of the human heart.
