A period drama about identity and constraint, following a woman living a double life in 19th-century Dublin as she navigates desire, survival, and the possibility of authentic connection.

Albert Nobbs struggles to survive in late 19th century Ireland, where women aren't encouraged to be independent. Posing as a man, so she can work as a butler in Dublin's most posh hotel, Albert meets a handsome painter and looks to escape the lie she has been living.
