England at the beginning of the 20th century, London in the Edwardian era. The two Schlegel sisters, who come from a well-off family, are confident and beautiful, are obsessed with various ideological salons and literary and artistic societies in London, working together to shape their spiritual world far away from the mortal world. An accidental encounter allowed her sister Helen to get acquainted with the upstart Wilcox family in the business world, and she developed an incredible spark of love with her youngest son Paul... However, this relationship was short-lived, and the reaction of disillusionment pushed Helen to the opposite side of the Wilcox family - Leonard Buster, a young man who was financially strapped but unwilling to be mediocre. Meanwhile, sister Margaret enters the world of her doer husband Henry through her friendship with Mrs. Wilcox. This time, matter does not repulse spirit, but attracts and connects two opposite magnetic poles... The two sisters seem to be on two completely opposite paths. In the end, in the quiet Howards End, emotion and reason finally crossed the gap and completed the "connection" in the ultimate sense...
