Unfairly accused of stealing money from his community’s church, Silas Marner has become bitter and misanthropic – and wealthy. One New Year’s Eve, however, he rescues a small child from the snowstorm outside: and his life changes forever.

A deeply moving exploration of loneliness and redemption, Silas Marner is a beloved and timeless classic.
Judi Dench brings its humanity to life with unmatchable warmth and elegance.
