but still entertaining enough. The story revolves around a husband and wife whom live together but emotionally far apart. Walter, a microbiologist, marries Kittie, a rich socialite. They move overseas where Walter finds out she is having an affair. Instead of divorcing, he moves to a section of China facing a cholera epidemic. Walter is studying the disease and trying to eliminate its spreading while Kitty sits at home. Over time, Kitty becomes interested in Walter's work and goes to help the nuns watch the kids. She gradually falls in love with him while he is learning to forgive her. This is not a Disney movie, so no happy endings. Living in a cholera epidemic: it's easy to guess what will happen.
I thought the acting was good. I really liked Ed Norton in this. He had a very good British accent. The scenery is very pretty also. It could have been a little shorter.
FINAL VERDICT: If you are a fan of Norton or Watts, this is worth checking out.
