Wuthering Heights

Late 18th-century Yorkshire Moors, England. Growing up under the harsh rule of an abusive father, Catherine finds unexpected joy when Mr Earnshaw, the heavy-drinking lord of the crumbling Wuthering Heights estate, saves from starvation a dirty, ragged foundling. Taken in to be raised alongside the rosy-cheeked girl, "Heathcliff" gradually forms an intense connection with Cathy, unaware that class, jealousy, and pride are the enemies of love. As a result, they go their separate ways when Heathcliff fails to get what his heart desires. Now, as the angry wounds of unrequited passion and social humiliation grow into a corrosive force of self-destruction and revenge, a morbid notion begins to consume Heathcliff. And if he can't have Catherine, then no one will.
