Isabel Archer (Nicole Kidman) is young and beautiful, proud and spirited, capturing the hearts of many men, but she only wishes to live freely. She rejects the marriage proposal of Lord Warburton at a garden estate in England. Later, she visits her cousin Ralph and his girlfriend in London, where she also turns down a proposal from Goodwood. At her cousin's home, she meets the dignified and beautiful Madame Merle. In Florence, Merle introduces her to the penniless yet refined Osmond (John Malkovich). Osmond falls in love with Isabel, and she gradually falls in love with him. A year later, Isabel and Osmond marry. However, their son tragically dies in the cradle. Later, when she learns her cousin is gravely ill, despite her husband's objections, she goes to see Ralph for the last time, at which point her sister-in-law reveals a secret to her... This film is adapted from the famous novel of the same name by American author Henry James.
