In the marshy mists of a village churchyard, a tiny orphan boy named Pip is suddenly terrifed by a shirvering, limping convict on the run. Years later, a supremely arrogant young Pip boards the coach to London where, by the grace of a mysterious benefactor, he will join the ranks of the idle rich and become a gentleman. Finally, in the luminous mists of the village at evening, Pip the man meets Estella, his dazzlingly beautiful tormentor, in a ruined garden-and lays to rest all the heartaches and ilusions that his "great expectations" have brought upon him.
