“How long would you wait for love?”
In Colombia just after the Great War, an old man falls from a ladder; dying, he professes great love for his wife. After the funeral, a man calls on the widow - she dismisses him angrily. Flash back more than 50 years to the day Florentino Ariza, a telegraph boy, falls in love with Fermina Daza, the daughter of a mule trader.
A sweeping, melancholic epic spanning decades. It feels like a beautifully aged letter, full of unrequited passion and the quiet ache of time passing. A slow, romantic burn for those who appreciate enduring, if complicated, devotion.
