Anne Elliot fell deeply in love with the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth at the age of nineteen. But with neither fortune nor rank to recommend him, Anne was persuaded to break off her engagement. Eight years later, Anne has lived to regret her decision. She never stopped loving Wentworth, and when he returns from sea with a fortune and rank, she can only watch as every eligible young woman in the district falls at his feet. (official distributor synopsis)

Persuasion, as the last work of Jane Austen, is somewhat overshadowed by other more popular works. However, it is a very good, mature novel. Among filmmakers, it is not as popular as "Pride and Prejudice" or "Emma," but that makes it even more enjoyable. The BBC television production starring Sally Hawkins in the lead role is very charming, and all those coincidences and discomforts and hints are played out as authentically as possible in the genre. Additionally, my old love Stella Gonet has a small supporting role, so I thoroughly enjoyed it.
