Synopsis

[Part of 31st Singapore International Film Festival 2020]

Mary Anning wears a seemingly impenetrable exterior, not unlike a fossil. Leading a humble existence as a fossil hunter, her brilliance as a palaeontologist is systematically undermined in patriarchal and classist Victorian England. One day, Charlotte, a wealthy young woman suffering from melancholia, arrives at Mary’s shop with her husband, who leaves her behind to convalesce. Mary begrudgingly nurses Charlotte back to health; over time, both unearth a tenderness for each other.

Winslet’s and Ronan’s breathtaking performances take the audience on a deep dive into forbidden love.

AMMONITE will be screening at Filmgarde Cineplexes Bugis+ on 28 November and 4 December 2020.
