THE EDGE OF LOVE

Desire and guilt are complicated by love and friendship in this real-life tale set in beautiful London and the majestic Welsh countryside. Two feisty, free-spirited women are connected by the brilliant, charismatic poet who loves them both. The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys)is told through the lives of two extraordinary women. Vera Phillips (Keira Knightly) and Dylan were teenage loves; fast forward ten years and the two reconnect in London. She's working as a singer whilst he's churning out scripts for government propaganda films and living off the last in a long line of infatuated women. The two former lovers feel the thunderbolt once more, but Thomas is now married to the adventurous Caitlin (Sienna Miller). Despite their love-rival status, the women form a surprising friendship. Caitlin indulges in her own infidelities, and recognises a similar adventurous spirit in her husband. But she knows his connection with the now married Vera is something different, not to mention dangerous. Ultimately Vera must choose between the men in her life and the friend that she loves.
