Ammonite, a forbidden love
Image
In this fascinating story, we follow paleontologist Mary Anning, a lonely and dedicated woman at work on the coast of England, and Charlotte Murchison, a fragile young woman sent by her husband to recover her health by the sea.
The plot unfolds as Mary and Charlotte establish an unexpected and profound connection, one that defies the social conventions of the Victorian era.
As their relationship intensifies, both women face their own inner demons and the restrictions of a society that does not accept their love.
With subtle direction, moving performances and immersive cinematography, Ammonite immerses us in a world of repressed passion and self-discovery.

Through the intimacy between Mary and Charlotte, the film invites us to reflect on the nature of desire, freedom and authenticity in a world full of prejudice and expectations.
With a melancholic soundtrack, emotional scenes and a script filled with moments of tenderness and conflict, ‘Ammonite’ takes us on a journey of self-discovery and sacrifice.
Through moments of complicity, defiance and redemption, the film challenges us to question our own beliefs about love and freedom in a world where passion can be both a gift and a curse.
