Love in the Time of Cholera

After a smitten Colombia telegraph operator (Unax Ugalde) proposes to a beautiful Catholic girl (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) and she is forced by her wealthy, widowed father (John Leguizamo) to reject his proposal in 1879 and ultimately ends up marrying a handsome, Paris-educated doctor (Benjamin Bratt) in this touching, sad, and beautifully photographed film based on Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez' novel, the spurned lover (Javier Bardem) falls into a deep depression and spends the next 51 years bedding more than 600 hundred women and dreaming of his reunion with his long lost love.
