The Age of Innocence

The Age Of Innocence tells the story of a wealthy lawyer Newland Archer, who is engaged to sweet socialite May Welland in 1870s New York. On the surface, it is a perfect match. But when May’s beautiful cousin Countess Ellen Olenska, who is estranged from her brutish husband, arrives in town, Newland begins to question the meaning of passion and love as he desperately pursues a relationship with Ellen, even though she has been made a social outcast by Archer’s peers.
