Synopsis

Caught between the expedient court of Henry VIII and his own conscience, Sir Thomas More, "the man for all seasons", walks the line between earthly powers and heavenly sainthood. He was a man who popularised the concept of Utopia on earth, yet lived in the Tudor hell of Henry VIII's court, where his disagreement with the philandering King led to an execution that brought him immortal glory. This is an intriguing story that brings one of the oldest debates into the surroundings of a modern television studio where, through a series of interviews, we learn the truth about one of England's greatest historical figures.
