Brideshead Revisited (1981)

In the hallowed halls of Oxford University, two young men, Charles Ryder and Sebastian Flyte, forge an unlikely friendship, ignited by an incident involving a vomit-stained window and the silent protest of a teddy bear named Aloysius. Despite the chasm separating their social classes, with Charles having no family wealth and Sebastian hailing from Catholic aristocracy in a Protestant England, their bond deepens. Charles is irresistibly drawn into the opulent world of Sebastian's family, navigating the complex tapestry of privilege, tradition, and religious tensions. Years later, destiny ushers Charles, now a British Army officer, back to the majestic English country house - Brideshead, the Flyte family's ancestral home. This unexpected reunion triggers a flood of memories, painting a poignant portrait of his youth and young adulthood, his passions, existence, and a deeply personal odyssey of faith and torment. The narrative, artfully told in flashbacks, immerses viewers in Charles' journey through life's peaks and valleys, framed by the grandeur and melancholy of Brideshead.

Brideshead Revisited is a drama show featuring Jeremy Irons.
