A Handful of Dust

Charles Sturridge directs this adaptation of the novel by Evelyn Waugh. Aristocratic Tony Last (James Wilby) is devoted to his family and his crumbling, over-large family seat. His bored wife Brenda (Kristin Scott Thomas) takes a lover and a flat in London, creating a small scandal of which Tony is blissfully unaware.

When their young son is killed in a hunting accident, Brenda initiates divorce proceedings. The cast also includes Rupert Graves, Stephen Fry and Judi Dench.
