Language of the film version shown in the current academic year:
It's 1818 in Hampstead Village on the outskirts of London. Poet Charles Brown knows the Brawne family. Fanny Brawne, the eldest daughter, and Mr. Brown don't like each other. She thinks he's arrogant and rude, and he feels that she is pretentious. Insecure struggling poet John Keats comes to live with his friend, Mr. Brown. Miss Brawne and Mr. Keats have a mutual attraction to each other, a relationship which however is slow to develop in part since Mr. Brown does whatever he can to keep the two apart. But other obstacles face the couple, including their eventual overwhelming passion for each other clouding their view of what the other does, Mr. Keats' struggling career which offers him little in the way of monetary security and health issues which had earlier taken the life of Mr. Keats' brother, Tom.
