Brief Encounter

Laura Jesson is a married woman living a quiet, predictable life in 1930s England. During one of her routine weekly trips into town, she meets Alec Harvey, a kind doctor who helps her when a small piece of grit gets into her eye at a railway station.

Their chance encounter gradually develops into a profound emotional connection as the two married strangers begin meeting more frequently. Torn between desire and duty, they must confront their feelings and the consequences of their choices. David Lean creates a timeless romantic drama about unfulfilled love, sacrifice and the fleeting moments that can change a life forever.
