Synopsis
After taking his degree, Edward Williams sacrifices the possibility of a more glamorous career to help with the management of the family estate. His younger brother, Sebastian, leaves for the Continent to study medicine, but soon turns to a dissolute and financially ruinous life there. To pay Sebastian's debts and bring him home, their father digs into the estate's assets. Yoked to an impoverished estate and his hopes of marriage frustrated, Edward must wrestle with the resentment he feels towards both his brother and father.
A meditation on duty, love, and freedom, Edward Williams is a modern imagining of the Parable of the Prodigal Son in what is understood to be Victorian England.
