The Virgin and the Gipsy
by D. H. Lawrence
Discovered in France after Lawrence's death, he became known as a masterpiece in which he distilled and purified Lawrence's ideas about sexuality and morality, which was immediately considered one of Lawrence's most exciting short novels. Set in a small village in the English countryside, the film is the story of a secluded and sensitive daughter of a rector who seeks meaning beyond the life she appears condemned to. When he meets a young handsome gypsy whose life is different from him in every way, he is immediately shocked and still paralyzed by his own fear and social contract. But after a natural disaster, suddenly, miraculously, he swept the world, knowing that a new world of passion had opened up for him. Lawrence's spirit is filled with all his sensitivity, passion, and knowledge of the human spirit.
