A Larry twist on one of my favourite masterpieces, 'Tess of the d'Urbrevilles' by Thomas Hardy.
Harry Styles, the young, beautiful, naive son of a poor peddler, falls prey to the unscrupulous desires of Arthur Saltram, the rich and licentious heir of the Saltram estate, where he is sent to work as a farmhand.
A tumultous period of anguish and pain, coupled with the feeling of intense guilt follows but Harry picks himself up and later joins a dairy farm outside his village, providing distance and supposed closure from the scene of judgement and whispers. His life seems to change for good as he works as a dairyman and meets Louis Tomlinson, the progressive son of a parson, who falls in love with him and a mutual passion develops between the two.
But, as their wedding date approaches, Harry finds himself on the horns of a dilemma, overshadowed by the bitter truth of her past. A victim of the nineteenth century English social morality (where we'll just pretend that being gay was accepted, despite its historical inaccuracy), what sort of future awaits Harry?

Louis' mother always told him and his siblings fairytale stories about how she met their father and how the sea brought them together.
Louis as he grew up, stopped believing in them, but always felt a strong connection to the calm and peaceful sea on their countryside.
For him, sand beneath his fingers, sun hitting on his skin and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore is the best combination for his mind peace.
It's always the same around Louis' daily routine, nothing ever changes, until it does.
And suddenly his mother's stories don't seem very far from reality.
