A Summer Story
1988, English. Directed by Piers Haggard.
For every man and every woman there is that one great love. A love that touches the heart, fires the soul, and lingers in the memory forever.
A young lawyer from London, Mr. Ashton, and his best friend are hiking across Dartmoor. When he twists his ankle, Ashton is forced to seek help at a nearby farmhouse and stays there for a few days. Innocent beauty Megan David catches the attention of Ashton. He decides to stay longer, and he and Megan fall in love, much to the displeasure of Megan's aunt and her loutish son.
