Synopsis
Zadie Smith updates the plot of E.M. Forster's HOWARDS END to tell the comic story of two radically different families: the American arch right-wingers Monty and Carline Kipps, and the bohemian, very liberal British Belseys, who live in Massachusetts, where Howard teaches art and his black wife, Kiki, is a former activist settled into middle age. When Howard Belsey and Victoria Kipps fall in love, the families settle into a culture war that threatens all each one holds dear.
