Home >> Movies >> Swept From The Sea

To the world, Amy Foster (Rachel Weisz) is a girl who never smiles, but beneath her passive exterior, there is hidden passion. Amy is a pagan spirit, a collector of gifts from the sea. Her world is irrevocably changed when the sea delivers to her the most beautiful and most impossible gift of all.

Yanko Gooral (Vincent Perez) is a passionate adventurer who has left his Ukrainian homeland in search of the new world - America. When Yanko is washed overboard by a murderous tempest he finds himself a stranger in a hostile land. When he crosses the threshold into Amy's world, however, they form a bond too powerful to be broken by the hate and suspicion the ignorant masses of Cornwall, England, rain down on them.

"This movie will move your soul."
Rick Anthony, Los Angeles Film and Music Magazine
