On August 19 at 23h00, M-Net will screen Washington Square, a romance drama directed in 1997 by Agnieszka Holland and starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Albert Finney, Ben Chaplin and Maggie Smith.

A woman dies while giving birth to twins, and only the girl survives. As Catherine grows up, she struggles to get close to her rich doctor father, who seems to blame her for his wife and son’s deaths. When Catherine falls in love with a penniless American, her aunt encourages the romance, but her father threatens to disown her. Catherine couldn’t give a toss about the money – it’s her father’s disapproval she fears most. But should she, if she has a chance at happiness?
