Working as a servant in a small village in 19th century Cornwall, England, Amy Foster (Rachel Weisz) is not only viewed as inferior by her employers, but also shunned by the local community. Her only solace is in her secret world a shoreline cave where she collects artifacts from the sea and dreams of a better life. But that changes the day Yanko Gooral (Vincent Perez), a Ukrainian adventurer, washes up on shore as the only survivor of a shipwreck. After Amy helps care for the wounded immigrant, they form a bond too powerful to be broken by the hate and suspicion of the ignorant townspeople. As their love for one another grows stronger, so does the vindictive campaign against the young couple. Epic, passionate and tragic, Swept From The Sea is a romantic tale of forgiveness, conviction and love.
