Starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Kyle Chandler, Jake Lacy and Sarah Paulson, Carol takes audiences on a journey back in time to 1950, New York, to follow two women who find themselves in the throes of love.
A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett), an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection deepens.
As conventional norms of the time challenge the women’s undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change.
