“His greatest story was the one he could never tell.”
In 1857, at the height of his fame and fortune, novelist and social critic Charles Dickens meets and falls in love with teenage stage actress Nelly Ternan. As she becomes the focus of his heart and mind, as well as his muse, painful secrecy is the price both must pay.
A quiet, intimate portrayal of a hidden, consuming love. It feels like stolen glances and whispered secrets, wrapped in the hushed elegance of a bygone era. The weight of unspoken emotions hangs heavy in the air.
