Christopher Strong (1933)

In the world of high society and political powerhouses, we meet Sir Christopher Strong, a respected Member of Parliament, and his devoted wife, Lady Elaine Strong. They lead a charmed life, untouched by major trials, save for the occasional worry about their twenty-year-old daughter, Monica. Her late-night escapades with her friends, including an unsettling attachment to the already married Harry Rawlinson, keep her parents on their toes. Monica's newfound friendship with the indomitable aviatrix, Lady Cynthia Darrington, brings a sense of relief to the Strongs. Yet, little do they know, Cynthia's entrancing persona won't only capture Monica's admiration but also Christopher's heart. While Cynthia balances her time between setting pioneering aviation records and preparing for an audacious round-the-world race, she finds herself entwined in a web of forbidden love with Christopher. Their connection, ignited during a party for Bright Young Things, intensifies when Christopher witnesses Cynthia in a breathtaking silver moth costume. Despite their best efforts, virtue begins to fade, giving way to a clandestine affair. This unexpected romance, however, carries a heavy cost: it threatens to unravel Christopher's harmonious marriage, derail Cynthia's ambitious aviation dreams, and shatter the lives of those around them. Caught in a whirlwind of passion and responsibility, Christopher and Cynthia must make a choice. Will they succumb to their desires, or will they navigate through this storm, preserving their reputations and the well-being of their loved ones? As the stakes rise, the choices they make could shape their futures and the world around them. Christopher Strong (1933) is a riveting tale of love, ambition, and the high costs of a love affair borne in the heart of British high society.
