Oscar winning actress Kate Winslet and Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan team up to present us a new indie story about love and passion . Winslet plays Mary Anning , a longtime paleontologist in the 1840 ’ s southern English coastline . Ronan plays Charlotte Murchison , a young married woman who is brought to Mary by her husband in hopes that she ’ ll let Charlotte shadow her work to cure her melancholia . What begins as an informal apprenticeship transforms into a gripping love affair . The setting is completely patriarchal , just as director Frances Lee wanted it to be in order to research and show same-sex female relationships at a time when women were “ owned ” by their fathers and husbands . “ So , the idea of two women actually in a relationship together was just not a thought anybody ever had within society ,” Lee says . Well-known cast and a curious storyline , ‘ Ammonite ’ will be a movie which won ’ t want to miss .
