Inhaltsangabe

<div>Using the novel&#8217;s own words as its starting point, Clifford&#8217;s adaptation thrillingly recreates Dicken&#8217;s classic story of love and mystery while losing none of the original&#8217;s haunting power. Pip longs to be a gentleman, but he is haunted by the memory of the mysterious Magwitch, and his love for the bewitching Estella seems to be just another dream.</div>
