Story
The film 'Wide Sargasso Sea' begins in Jamaica post-emancipation, where French colonist Annette Cosway marries Englishman Paul Mason despite his racist views.

Antoinette, now determined to secure her inheritance, sets her sights on marrying an Englishman named Rochester, whom she finds eerily similar to Mason.
