Synopsis:

Willem Dafoe stars as American writer T.S. Eliot in this biographical romantic drama. The story dramatises Eliot's passionate and tempestuous relationship with his first wife Vivienne Haigh-Wood (Miranda Richardson). After a brief courtship, the pair marry in 1915 but their initial happiness is short-lived and Viv eventually takes to harassing her husband. As a result of her various health issues and apparent mental instability, Tom commits Viv to a mental institution where she stays for ten years without ever seeing her famous husband again.

In 1915, T.S. (Tom) Eliot and Vivienne Haigh-Wood elope, but her longstanding gynecological and emotional problems disrupt their planned honeymoon. Her father is angry because Tom's poetry doesn't bring in enough to live on, but her mother is happy Viv has found a tender and discreet husband.
