Mary Shelley

London, 18th century. Before us is 18-year-old Mary - a bright, talented girl with a rebellious character. And it is very easy to make her fall in love with you, which is what the attractive poet Percy Shelley does. None of them knows what this romance will lead to in the future. After some time, the couple received an invitation to visit Geneva from George Byron himself. Oh, what a hot summer it's going to be...Mary is going to spend so much time with creative geniuses. And they do not believe in her - this is a time of absolute contempt for women. They can't write their own novel - they can't even think. But Mary wants to change the established stereotypes - the girl has been harboring one idea, one character for a long time. She is ready to bring to life a real monster - Frankenstein. This gothic novel will go down in history. Read more The film is based on real events. The director of the picture is Haifa Al-Mansour, who previously worked on the project "Wajda" (2012).
