Set in 1870s New York society, The Age of Innocence tells the story of Newland Archer, a young attorney engaged to the loving, but conventional May Welland. When he encounters her European cousin, the beautiful and mysterious Countess Olenska, his life is forever transformed. Torn between duty and desire, Newland confronts implacable social forces and his own contradictory nature in his quest for his true, authentic life.
