Actress Frances O’Connor (Mansfield Park) steps behind the scenes in her directorial debut with “Emily”. This biographical drama tells the part-fictional story of famed English novelist and poet Emily Brontë, best known for her seminal novel “Wuthering Heights”.
On her deathbed, Emily, played by Emma Mackey (“Death on the Nile”), recounts to her older sister Charlotte (Alexandra Dowling), how despite her struggles within the confines of her family life, she yearned for artistic and personal freedom and how those desires brought her on a journey to channel her creative potential into one of the greatest novels of all time.
Emily imagines the transformative, exhilarating, and uplifting journey to womanhood of a rebel and a misfit, one of the world's most famous, enigmatic, and provocative writers who died too soon at the age of 30.
