Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins star in this Academy Award-winning romantic drama based on the novel by E. M. Forster. In 1910, sisters Helen (Helena Bonham Carter) and Margaret Schlegel (Thompson) live in London with their brother, but the lease on their flat is about to expire.

Margaret has recently befriended the ailing Mrs Wilcox (Vanessa Redgrave) who decides to bequeath her house, Howards End, to her. However, upon Mrs Wilcox's death her family close ranks, refusing to inform Margaret of her inheritance. When the widowed Henry Wilcox (Hopkins) begins to take a romantic interest in Margaret, however, the ensuing relationship leads to tragedy.
