The action of the Ammonite will unfold in the 1840s in a small coastal English town. Main heroines - Paleontologist Mary Enning (Kate Winslet) and a girl from the rich London family (Sirsha Ronan), for which the will of the case of Mary had to be careed. Something similar is the same-sex drama in historical setting - we have already seen in Karol performed by Kate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, but in the case of the Ammonite, the difference between the two heroes will be even more.
Ammonit has all the terms of the film that can collect nominations at the coming "Oscar" 2020 - a historical setting, a mixture of a biographical genre with melodrama, same-sex relationships and, although the picture just started shooting, a scandal aura around it. The Mary Enning family has already made a protest against the film: Barbara Enning, the Paleontologist's niece, violently claims that there is no evidence that her famous relative has ever been in same-sex relationships, no. "All this lesbian history is Hollywood fiction, as far as I know, no one has never even assumed that she was a lesbian. I guess, this is what Hollywood is always doing - invents something piquant in an empty place. "
