  • "Dans l'Angleterre du 19ème siècle, un paysan du Dorset, John Durbeyfield, découvre par hasard qu'il est le dernier descendant d'une grande famille d'aristocrates. Motivé par le profit qu'il pourrait tirer de cette noblesse perdue, Durbeyfield envoie sa fille aînée, Tess, se réclamer de cette parenté chez la riche famille des d'Urberville. Le jeune Alec d'Urberville, charmé par la beauté de sa "délicieuse cousine", accepte de l'employer et met tout en oeuvre pour la séduire. Tess finit par céder aux avances d'Alec et, enceinte, retourne chez ses parents où elle donne naissance à un enfant qui meurt peu de temps après. Fuyant son destin, Tess s'enfuit de son village et trouve un emploi dans une ferme où personne ne connaît son malheur. Elle y rencontre son véritable amour : un fils de pasteur nommé Angel Clare. Ce dernier, croyant que Tess est une jeune paysanne innocente, tombe éperdument amoureux d'elle et, malgré l'abîme social qui les sépare, la demande en mariage. Mais lors de la nuit de noces, Tess confie à Angel son lourd secret. Accablé, incapable de lui pardonner, Angel quitte Tess et part pour le Brésil. Pendant de longs mois, Tess attend désespérément le retour de son mari en travaillant dur pour sa survie et celle de sa famille, jusqu'à ce que le destin ramène Alec d'Urberville dans sa vie."
