Aimée

1991 · 90 min

A quiet, haunted drama that simmers with moral tension beneath the surface of English country life.

Directed by: Pedr James
Genres: Drama, Thriller, Tv movie
Starring: Juliet Stevenson, Donald Sumpter, Simon Chandler

Overview: A white Mercedes, the English countryside, a cathedral city, a haunted figure at the wheel with an overnight bag in the boot. Frank Summers has run away from a career as a fabulously successful rock promoter and an anguished private life. Now he's facing the hardest of all moral choices - a life or death decision which is to have a shattering impact on the lives of new friends who offer shelter, and on the new arrival on the seemingly tranquil scene.
