Sam Mendes directs this emotional drama based on the 1961 novel by Richard Yates. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star as April and Frank Wheeler, an attractive and seemingly successful young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s. However, neither April nor Frank feels fulfilled by the trivial routines and limitations of suburban life, and cracks soon start to appear in their relationship and their family life.
