Set in England in 1952, 'Shadowlands' is the tender and deeply moving true story of the love affair between C.S. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins) and Joy Gresham (Debra Winger). C.S.

This solitude is shattered by the arrival of the outgoing American divorcee, Joy Gresham who walks into his life with her young son Douglas (Joseph Mazzello).
