It is the beginning of a passionate and all-consuming love affair that will defy all social bounds and alter the course of both lives irrevocably.įrancis wrote and directed the hugely successful debut feature film GOD'S OWN COUNTRY which was developed and funded by BFI and Creative England and premiered at Sundance 2017 where Francis won Best Director.
Yet despite the chasm between their social spheres and personalities, Mary and Charlotte discover they can each offer what the other has been searching for: the realisation that they are not alone. They are two women from utterly different worlds.
Mary, whose life is a daily struggle on the poverty line, cannot afford to turn him down but, proud and relentlessly passionate about her work, she clashes with her unwanted guest. When one such tourist, Roderick Murchison, arrives in Lyme on the first leg of a European tour, he entrusts Mary with the care of his young wife Charlotte, who is recuperating from a personal tragedy. The days of her famed discoveries behind her, she now hunts for common fossils to sell to rich tourists to support herself and her ailing widowed mother. In the 1840s, acclaimed self-taught palaeontologist Mary Anning works alone on the wild and brutal Southern English coastline of Lyme Regis.
