Synopsis

Based on the best-selling novel by Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquezand directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings & A Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Love In The Time Of Cholera is a smouldering fifty-year romance that will tear at the heart of all romantics.

When teenagers Florentino Ariza and Fermino Daza meet, it's love at first sight. However after a prolonged absence with her family, forced by her disapproving father, Fermina (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) returns and marries a wealthy, well-born doctor instead. Florentino (Oscar-nominee Javier Bardem) is devastated and devotes himself to becoming a successful businessman and a prolific womaniser. However, nothing can extinguish the flames of love he has for Fermina and when her husband dies, love-sick Florentino seizes his opportunity – exactly fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his passion, he vows to do so again.
