Maria est une jeune étudiante d'un couvent qui attend de devenir religieuse. En été, elle est renvoyée à la maison par sa famille parce qu'une épidémie de choléra a éclaté. Au cours de cette période, elle rencontre un jeune étudiant nommé Nino qui vit dans la même région et dont elle tombe amoureuse dès le premier regard. Le jeune homme semble également s'intéresser à elle: il l'invite à danser lors d'une fête et la courtise à d'autres occasions. Maria est indécise : elle aimerait être avec Nino, mais en même temps elle pense que son destin est de devenir religieuse. Un jour, Nino lui déclare son amour et lui demande de quitter le couvent : cela accentue le tourment de Marie, partagé entre le sentiment de l'amour et son devoir envers Dieu. Après avoir refusé Nino, elle retourne au couvent. Ici, contrairement à ses attentes, son tourment ne se calme pas et, au contraire, lui fait comprendre qu'elle aime Nino et qu'elle n'a pas pris la bonne décision. Marie pense aux moments passés avec Nino et se confesse à Soeur Agatha, une religieuse prétendument folle qui en fait elle aussi tourmentée par un sentiment d'amour pour un homme connu plusieurs années auparavant. Elle est devenue une religieuse par erreur. Au cours d'une confession à l'église, Maria voit une cérémonie de mariage et voit que le marié est Nino tandis que la mariée est la sœur de Maria, Giuditta. Maria tombe dans la dépression. Un soir, elle quitte le couvent et décide de courir vers Nino après avoir appris de son père qu'ils sont allés vivre dans la ville et que la maison est face à l'église. Maria est accueillie à la maison par Nino et Judith, mais elle comprend que maintenant il n'y a plus rien à faire et espère revenir Nino est parti parce que Judith attend un enfant. Désespérée, Maria révèle au garçon qu'elle a toujours été amoureuse de lui. Nino explique à Maria qu'elle a eu l'occasion et surtout le moment d'être avec lui, mais refuse; Nino a donc beaucoup souffert et a dû essayer d'oublier Maria. A la fin, les deux jeunes hommes s'embrassent et Maria retourne au couvent, résignée à ce qui s'est passé et devient religieuse, servant Dieu et l'Église pour toujours.

The film follows the story of an anguished English-born Pittsburgh high school teacher (Irons) in 1974 going through a reassessment of his life. His method is to narrate his life to his class and interweave three generations of his family's history. The film portrays the history teacher's narrative in the form of flashbacks to tell the story of a teenage boy and his mentally challenged older brother living in The Fens of England with their widowed father. In an opening scene the teacher's childless wife (Cusack) takes a child from a supermarket and believes it to be hers. The teacher explains to his class how he and his wife had a teenage romance which led to a disastrous abortion that left her infertile. The teacher is tortured by the guilt of this as well as the jealousy he demonstrated to his older brother when he suspected his girlfriend's child was his brother's. The girl's flirtation with the older brother sets off events that lead to the older boy's death by drowning. A side-theme is the teacher's grandfather, who was a successful brewer and who fathered with his daughter the narrator's older brother. The film ends with the teacher's dismissal from his school and a possible renewal of his relationship with his wife.

The ocean liner SS Britannic is in the middle of a voyage in the North Atlantic with 1200 passengers on board when the shipping line's owner (Ian Holm) in London receives a telephone call from a man with an Irish accent styling himself as "Juggernaut", who claims to have placed seven barrels of amatol (high explosive) aboard the ship which are timed to explode and sink it at dawn on the following day. He warns that the barrels are booby-trapped and that any attempt to move them will result in detonation, and offers that technical instructions in how to render the bombs safe will be given in exchange on a ransom being paid to him of £500,000. As an indication of his seriousness he then sets off a demonstration attack with a series of small bombs on the ship's bridge, which injure one crewman. Unable to order an evacuation of the ship's passengers via lifeboats due to rough seas besetting it, the shipping line's management is inclined to yield to the ransom demand, however when the police are called in British government officials inform the company that if it does so they will withdraw the company's operating subsidy in line with the Government's policy of non-appeasement to blackmailed threats of violence.
