Oscar winner Kate Winslet and Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan give powerhouse performances in this highly-anticipated second feature from acclaimed writer/director Francis Lee (Gods Own Country) - a searing period romance and reimagined biopic of paleontology pioneer Mary Anning and her relationship with a woman trapped in a stifling marriage.
In 1800s England, acclaimed but unrecognised fossil hunter Mary Anning (Winslet) works alone on the rugged Southern coastline. With the days of her famed discoveries behind her, she now searches for common fossils to sell to tourists to support herself and her ailing mother. When a wealthy visitor entrusts Mary with the care of his wife Charlotte Murchison (Ronan), she cannot afford to turn his offer down. Proud and relentlessly passionate about her work, Mary initially clashes with her unwelcome guest. But despite the distance between their social class and personalities, an intense bond begins to develop.
