After the old manor owner died, the poor mother and daughter were driven out of the manor by the eldest son. With the help of relatives, they settled down in a small farmhouse. What the snobbish eldest sister-in-law never thought of was that her younger brother Edward (Hugh Grant) fell in love with the eldest sister Eleanor (Emma Thompson). Although the rational Eleanor also fell in love with Edward, she tried to restrain her feelings considering the disparity between their status. At the same time, her younger sister Marianne (Kate Winslet) and the handsome officer Willoughby (Grey Wise) fell in love. Marianne, who was emotionally exposed, enthusiastically released her love for Willoughby, even without considering hurting the feelings of the pursuer Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman). Unexpectedly, Willoughby was not upright and did not really take Marianne's feelings to heart. The feelings of the two sisters fell into crisis one after another. Which of the two sisters with different personalities can get true love and get what they want? How can the four mothers and daughters get out of the predicament of life?
