In Edwardian England, three families, representing three classes, have an impact on one another. The central characters are middle class sisters Margaret (Dame Emma Thompson) and Helen Schlegel (Helena Bonham Carter).
Margaret befriends the seriously ill Ruth Wilcox (Vanessa Redgrave), matriarch of the Wilcox family, who have a country estate known as Howards End. The younger Helen takes an interest in Leonard Bast (Samuel West), a working class clerk.
As Margaret gravitates towards the Wilcoxes, eventually marrying Henry Wilcox (Sir Anthony Hopkins) after Ruth's death, Helen identifies more and more with Leonard and his wife Jacky (Nicola Duffett), particularly after advice they've given him, originally from Henry Wilcox, turns out to be incorrect, and for which Leonard pays a heavy price.
The clash amongst them leads to tragedy.
