Philip Ashley (Sam Claflin), an orphan, lives with his older cousin and guardian, Ambrose (also, briefly, played by Claflin), who, propelled by doctors’ concerns for his health, decides to spend some time in a warmer climate, Italy. Before too long, Ambrose, who has remained in Florence longer than expected, explains in a letter that he has met a certain “cousin Rachel,” a half-English, half-Italian widow of an impoverished count. To Philip’s astonishment and dismay, Ambrose later announces his plans to marry Rachel. Some months of honeymoon and happiness follow, but then Ambrose begins to complain about his health and his wife, finally appealing to Philip to “come quickly” to Italy. [CR]

Grūti izskaidrot, bet filmas pirmā daļa - atgādināja veidu, kā sākas šausmu filmas - mūzika, kameru filtri, radīja aizraujošu ievadu. Ļoti interesanti šķita, ka šoreiz 'naivā' varoņa lomā bija vīrietis. Kaut gan spriestspēju zudums ir universāla lieta.
Manuprāt trūkums bija tikai pēdējā - atrisinājuma daļā, ja tā būtu citādāka, filmai būtu vēl spēcīgāks / tumšāks vēstījums.
