Sobre IBD

A chance meeting in a café, a piece of grit delicately removed by a gentleman from a lady’s eye, and the affair is born... a brief yet unrelenting emotional tug-of-war between two people whose spontaneous desire clashes head-on with the ’facts’ of their existence.There is Anna, married to Graham and happily content with her home life and two children. There is Alec, trapped in a loveless marriage to cool, uninvolved Melanie, looking to his work as a doctor for fulfillment. Between them a flame is kindled that splendidly ignites a passion way beyond the well-constructed limits of their imaginations. Then comes the test. Can they transform their dream into a lasting love or must it founder on the hard rocks of reality? Brief Encounter is also a major film starring Sophia Loren and Richard Burton
