“Firelight,” directed by William Nicholson, is a romantic drama set in 19th-century England, where a young Swiss governess named Elisabeth agrees to bear a child for a wealthy Englishman, Charles, in exchange for money to pay off her father’s debts. Years later, Elisabeth becomes the governess to her own daughter, Louisa, and navigates the complexities of love, duty, and identity as she forms a bond with both the child and Charles.
