“In the firelight you can do what you want. Say what you want. Be what you want..." Two strangers, ELIZABETH LAURIER (Sophie Marceau), a beautiful Swiss governess, and CHARLES GODWIN (Stephen Dillane), an English landowner, meet for three days in Northern France to carry out the terms of a secret business agreement. He will give her money to pay her father's debts - she will give him a child. The unexpected desire awakened by this encounter draws them together seven years later, when without his knowledge, she is hired as the governess to their daughter. Firelight is a timeless story about the power of desire and love.
