Synopsis:

The Painted Veil is a beautiful and very believable story of transformation. Both Walter and Kitty come to respect each other's flaws and vulnerabilities as human beings. They realize that the qualities they looked for at the beginning of their marriage were unreal constructs they brought into the relationship and not the reality of who they were. The process by which they get in touch with their true selves and see each other as whole beings makes for an engrossing and eventually heart-opening film experience.

A British medical doctor fights a cholera outbreak in a small Chinese village, while also being trapped at home in a loveless marriage to an unfaithful wife.
