An intimate, melancholic portrait of Darwin's internal struggle between faith and scientific truth, centered on his marriage and the personal cost of intellectual conviction.

A psychological, heart-wrenching love story that provides a unique and inside look at Charles Darwin. Torn between faith and science, he struggles to finish his legendary book "On the Origin of Species," which goes on to become the foundation for evolutionary biology.
