Set in South America before the Second World War. The House of the Spirits is a hauntingly romantic epic tale spanning three generations of the Trueba family. At its core is the stormy, yet passionate relationship between the supernaturally gifted Clara (Meryl Streep) and her controlling husband Esteban (Jeremy Irons), who resists change both politically and personally. This is a timeless story of secrets, seduction, revenge and forgiveness. (Via Vision Entertainment)
