Na temelju književnoga klasika Thomasa Hardyja, DALEKO OD BJESOMUČNE GOMILE priča je o Bathshebi Everdene (Carey Mulligan), vrlo neovisnoj i živahnoj mladoj ženi koja naslijedi farmu svoga strica. Financijski neovisna (što je rijetkost u viktorijansko doba), lijepa i tvrdoglava – ona privuče tri vrlo različita, ali odlučna prosca: Gabriela Oaka (Matthias Schoenaerts), pastira očaranog njezinom svojeglavosti; Franka Troya (Tom Sturridge), naočita i nepromišljena narednika te Williama Boldwooda (Michael Sheen), bogata i zrela neženju. Ova bezvremenska priča o Bathshebinim izborima i strastima dok pokušava zadržati svoju neovisnost, istražuje prirodu odnosa i ljubavi – kao i ljudsku sposobnost da prevlada teškoće zahvaljujući otpornosti i ustrajnosti.
