Filmen er betagende smukt fotograferet af Sean Bobbitt ("12 Years a Slave", "Hysteria" & "Shame"). "It's a lyrical and raptorous film - a repressed passion play, funny, delicate and heartbreaking" Variety Stedet er Dorset i Sydengland. Tiden er en julidag i 1962. Det unge par på badehotellet, Florence og Edward er nygift. Florence er af fin familie og musikalsk engageret, mens Edward kommer fra mere ydmyge kår. Alligevel finder de sammen i fælles interesser og sjælfuld betagelse, men bryllupsnatten ender som en smerteligt ydmygende affære for dem begge. Deres valg kommer til at mærke dem for resten af livet.
