Tristram PowellSchauspieler:
Alfred Molina, Michael Palin, Bryan Pringle, Fred Pearson1864: In den Schweizer Bergen lernt der englische Professor Ashby (Michael Palin) die unkonventionelle Amerikanerin Elinor (Trini Alvarado) kennen. Die macht aus ihrer Zuneigung zu ihm keinen Hehl. Doch Ashby muss wieder nach Oxford, weil Rektoratswahlen anstehen. Plötzlich taucht dort Elinor mit ihrer Adoptivmutter auf. Ashbys Wahlrivale erweist sich Elinors Reizen gegenüber keineswegs als blind.
Francis Ashby, a senior Oxford don on holiday alone in the Alps, meets holidaying American Caroline and her companion Elinor, the blossoming Irish-American girl she adopted many years before. Ashby finds he enjoys their company, particularly that of Elinor, and both the women are drawn to him. Back at Oxford he is nevertheless taken aback when they arrive unannounced. Women are not allowed in the College grounds, let alone the rooms. Indeed any liaison, however innocent, is frowned on by the upstanding Fellows.
