BFF24 Four Letters of Love
BFF24 Four Letters of Love
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE
Featuring a commanding ensemble cast, Polly Steele’s tender character piece navigates the human condition. Nicholas and Isabel are destined for each other, but their path to true love is anything but straightforward. As fate brings them together, they are also pulled apart by family, passion, and faith.
Nicholas’ father, William (a touching performance from Pierce Brosnan), upends their quiet, modest life when he announces he has received a divine calling to dedicate himself to painting. Abandoning his job, he heads to the coast, leaving his bewildered wife and son to cope on their own. Meanwhile, Isabel’s family enjoys a vibrant life on a nearby island, filled with music and poetry. When tragedy strikes and her brother is injured, their joyful existence is shattered. In their grief, Isabel’s parents (played to perfection by Helena Bonham Carter and Gabriel Byrne) decide to send her to a convent school on the mainland.
As Nicholas and Isabel navigate their separate paths of heartache and unfulfilled love, fate eventually weaves their lives back together delivering a heartfelt drama that will linger long after the end credits roll.
