Florentino Ariza declares undying love to Fermina Daza as a young telegraph messenger — and watches her marry a wealthier, more respectable man. He doesn't give up. Over the next five decades he builds a shipping empire, pursues countless women, and nurses a single, unshakeable obsession. When fate finally clears the way, Florentino is old, and so is she — but the feeling hasn't aged.

Mike Newell frames the story as a question rather than a fairy tale: what exactly survives in a heart after fifty years of waiting? Benjamin Bratt and Liev Schreiber round out the cast. Stream Love in the Time of Cholera (2007) in full on iFILM.
