Brief Encounter

A | UK | 1945 | English | 86 mins

Director: David Lean
This poignant British romantic drama explores the emotional turmoil of forbidden love. It follows Laura Jesson, a respectable housewife, who meets Dr. Alec Harvey by chance at a railway station. Their weekly meetings blossom into a deep, yet restrained romance, shadowed by guilt and societal expectations. A classic film that delicately captures the ache of missed opportunities and the quiet heartbreak of choosing duty over desire.
