In 1950s New York, Carol (Cate Blanchett) is shopping for Christmas presents in an upmarket store. She's attracted by the young shop assistant, Therese (Rooney Mara) who is helping her choose a gift for her daughter. Having left behind her gloves after making her purchase, Carol contacts Therese again, and a romantic, later sexual, relationship develops between them, against the backdrop of Carol's ongoing divorce from her husband. The story is based on a novel by Patricia Highsmith. Among the countless nominations for major awards, the film won the Queer Palm at Cannes in 2015 and has since developed a fandom known as the Cult of Carol.
