Synopsis
The Remains of the Day
A rule-bound head butler's world of manners and decorum in the household he maintains is tested by the arrival of a housekeeper who falls in love with him in post-WWI Britain. The possibility of romance and his master's cultivation of ties with the Nazi cause challenge his carefully maintained veneer of servitude.
Where the Wind Blows
Chase, a rugged cowboy and solitary drifter who closed off his heart long ago—until the day he impulsively does a kindness for a beautiful young woman, and everything changes over the course of three days.
