    Therese firts glimpses Carol in the New York department store where she is working as a sales assistant. Carol is choosing a present for her daughter; she looks preoccupied, exuding an aura of elegance as perfect as a secret. Standing there at the counter, Therese is wholly unprepared for the first shock of love.

    Carol offers a poignant look at LGBT+ relationships, capturing the emotional depth and struggles of love in a society that often doesn't accept it.
