Devon landowner he loves like a father. At a time, Ambrose, who has been
advised by his physician a warmer climate, leaves for Tuscany. There he
meets and marry Rachel, a half-Italian cousin of his. After an idyllic
outset, the situation deteriorates. Shortly before his death, Ambrose
manages to alert Philip: his wife is killing him slowly. Willing to sort
out the truth, Philip goes to Ambrose's place but he does not find
Rachel, who has gone away. Instead he meets Rainaldi, her friend and
lawyer, who does not inspire him with confidence. He returns to his
estate, persuaded that Rachel is evil and is the direct cause of
Ambrose's death. Some time later, Rachel announces her coming.
Determined to welcome her coolly, he is stunned to discover a woman not

Holding a mysterious leather suitcase in his hand, Newt Scamander, a
young activist wizard from England, visits New York while he is on his

being unsettled. In the meantime, the voices against wizardry keep
growing with daily protests led by Mary Lou Barebone and fuelled by the
increasing disasters ascribed to a dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. At

In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. “In the Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea and his first mate still seeks to bring the great whale down. Based on the book In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick. | | Action, Drama, Adventure |
