Jack Tanner (Ralph Fiennes), celebrated radical thinker and rich bachelor, seems an unlikely choice as guardian to the alluring heiress, Ann Whitefield (Indira Varma). But she takes it in her assured stride and, despite the love of a poet, she decides to marry and tame this dazzling revolutionary. Based on Nietzsche's theory of the Superman, this reinvention of Shaw's witty, provocative classic tells of Ann's relentless pursuit of dedicated bachelor Jack.
