Therese Belivet is just starting out in life, bored by her simple job in a department store and even more so by her relationship with Richard. She dreams of bigger things; a career as a set designer and experiencing true love. Love has never found its way into Therese's life, that is until she meets a privileged and sophisticated older woman named Carol with whom she immediately bonds. While Carol's life is the opposite of Therese's in that she enjoys luxury on an everyday basis, she is equally dismayed by her love life; trapped in a marriage with a man she does not love, so that she may continue seeing her young daughter. As her relationship with Therese deepens, their attraction for each other becomes clear to everyone else, as well as Carol's intriguing friendship with close companion Abby, and she faces losing everything in her quest to discover herself once and for all.
'Carol' is a 1950s set romantic drama based on the novel 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith (under the penname Claire Morgan). Directed by Academy Award nominated Todd Haynes ('I'm Not There', 'Far from Heaven') and written by Emmy nominated Phyllis Nagy ('Mrs. Harris'), the film is due to be released on November 27th 2015.
