- Synopsis:
- Lost in a blizzard on the rocky English moors, a stranger stumbles upon Wuthering Heights, the dark, gloomy estate of the mysterious Heathcliff, a man so tortured by unrequited love he has lost the will to live. As the storm rages on, the weary wanderer is mesmerized by the sorrowful tale of Heathcliff, a former stable boy, shared an innocent love with Cathy, a wild spirit whose fiery passion for him could never be realised.
