Orphan girl endures a harrowing childhood in a boarding school, ends up a governess in a large rural estate. She falls in love with the master of the house, but he's got a secret from his past which prevents their marriage. Modern adaptation of the Charlotte Bronte novel is unabashed melodrama, and unwisely resorts to a few "jump scares", but is nonetheless engrossing. Beautifully filmed by Adriano Goldman on English locations.
