Die englische Freundin

Two unlikely women, a remarkable friendship. The young English Quaker Honor leaves her home in the mid-19th century due to an unhappy love. In far-off Ohio, she hopes to make a fresh start. However, life in rural America is tough, and the issue of slavery divides the nation. Honor's only confidante becomes the spirited Belle, whose hat shop serves as a secret refuge for runaway slaves. The fact that Belle's brother, the zealous slave hunter Donovan, is interested in her puts Honor in a difficult position. For she is drawn to Donovan, a man who tramples all her ideals. Ultimately, she can no longer avoid making a decision.
