When teenagers Florentino Ariza and Fermino Daza meet, it's love at first sight. However after a prolonged absence with her family, forced by her disapproving father, Fermina (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) returns and marries a wealthy, well-born doctor instead. Florentino (Academy Award® winner Javier Bardem) is devastated and devotes himself to becoming a successful businessman and a prolific womaniser. However, nothing can extinguish the flames of love he has for Fermina and when her husband dies, love-sick Florentino seizes his opportunity - exactly fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his passion, he vows to do so again.

When teenagers Florentino Ariza and Fermino Daza meet, it's love at first sight.-
Gabriel García Márquez has not been well served by the cinema, and Mike Newell's Love in the Time of Cholera (faithfully adapted by Ronald Harwood) is certainly better than Francesco Rosi's flat Chronicle of a Death Foretold
