Based on Sarah Waters’ masterful award-winning second novel, AFFINITY is a gorgeous tale of love, longing and mystery set in Victorian London. Upper crust Margaret Prior grieves the death of her father as she tries valiantly to move past a lost love. She decides to take on “a project” and volunteers at Millbrook, a grim women’s prison full of ladies who have committed some of the most heinous crimes.
One of these women is Selina Dawes, an angelic-looking woman convicted of assault and fraud, and who purportedly possesses special powers as a spirit medium. As Margaret’s visits to the jail increase (and to Selina, in particular), her interest in the world of spiritualism intensifies - but is Selina really the prodigy she claims to be? With the riveting quality of past Waters’ work brought to screen (TIPPING THE VELVET and FINGERSMITH), AFFINITY takes us on a heart-pounding, bodice-straining journey of romance and intrigue as its shocking twists and simmering passion drive it to a stunning finale. - Kimberly Yutani, Director of Programming Screening Schedule
