剧情简介
A group of students who are participating in a university's summer science camp are drawn into an incredible quagmire of conflicts, ranging from the relatively simple conflict between an engaging and forthright young teacher and his older manipulative colleague, to a contest pitting political correctness against free scientific inquiry. Despite the murkiness of some of the issues in the latter conflict, the students pitch in enthusiastically on what they believe to be the side of righteousness, and passions rise to fever pitch. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide。故事发生在1959年的英格兰。弗洛伦斯（艾米莉·莫迪默 Emily Mortimer 饰）在不久之前失去了她的丈夫，但坚强的女人并没有沉湎于悲痛之中，她知道，自己必须坚强的生活下去。弗洛伦斯来到了偏远的海滨小镇哈堡，在这里，她倾尽所有开了一家小小的书店。这是当地唯一的一家书店，在此之前，小镇上的所有人都从来没有接触过文学。 弗洛伦斯的书店给小镇居民们的世界打开了新的大门，整个小镇都因为她的书店的出现而产生了变化，书店的存在更让弗洛伦斯结识了和自己趣味相投的同道中人艾德慕（比尔·奈伊 Bill Nighy 饰），与此同时，弗洛伦斯的出挑也招致了别有用心者异样的眼光。。
