Set in the 1840’s, this melancholic drama follows Mary Anning (Kate Winslet), a self-taught paleontologist, who is passionately engrossed in her job working alone on the Southern English coastline of Lyme Regis.
Previously famed and renowned for the fossils she has found, a tourist comes across her pieces and introduces her to his young wife Charlotte (Saoirse Ronan).
Upon meeting, the trailer unfolds showing how these initially incompatible women warm leading to stolen glances, delicate touches and, of course, walks along the coast.
As a compilation of intimate scenes flicker by, we watch Charlotte openly profess her love to Mary, saying: ” I don’t want to go back to the live I had before you”.
