A story told in two films; the first screen adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel.

The book is so rich in characters and Dickens is so able to show the humanity in each of them that the film, instead of a long story cut in two halves, became two films, each telling the story, seen from the particular point of view of the two main characters. “Nobody’s Fault” is the way Arthur Clennam sees things: his mother, his life, his work, his failures in love and in business… and his blindness to Little Dorrit’s love.

Then, “Little Dorrit’s Story” is the life of Amy Dorrit, born in a debtor’s prison, growing up and looking after her father; becoming rich and all the while keeping people and things together… and her blind love for Arthur Clennam.
