THE GOVERNESS (1998)
SANDRA GOLDBACHER
Plot
Passionate period drama with Minnie Driver as a well-heeled young lady, Rosina da Silva, who's forced to do some work for a change when her father is murdered, leaving the family penniless. Disguising her privileged Jewish background, she travels to the remote Scottish home of the Cavendish family to work as a governess. Workaholic man of the house Charles Cavendish seems stand-offish and cold towards Rosina, but he soon warms up. Things get even steamier when the Cavendish's son returns from university and he too falls for the governess.
