The story of the romantic drama takes us to the 1840s in Great Britain, the main character of the film is paleontologist Mary Anning (Kate Winslet). Although she is credited with numerous geological discoveries, she now lives a quiet life, collecting small fossils to sell to tourists, earning a little for herself and her sick mother. But her life is turned upside down when a rich tourist visits her and asks her to take care of his wife Charlotte (Saoirse Ronan), who suffers from "melancholia". Although the girls initially do not understand each other due to differences in character and social status, Mary and Charlotte eventually begin to weave a very special relationship and they fall in love.
