Rosamund Pike nominated for OSCARA as Maria Skłodowska-Curie, two-time Nobel Prize winner, who at a time when most still thought that the woman's place is in the shadow of her husband, revolutionized the conservative and very masculine world of science.

A story of great courage, determination, love and genius of a woman from distant Poland, who amazed scientific Paris, and soon the whole world.

Young, ambitious Maria Skłodowska comes to France to study at the famous Sorbonne, which is her great dream, and will soon bring a breakthrough not only in the life of a young woman, but all over the world. The beginnings, however, are difficult. Nobody takes seriously the scientific plans and theories that young Maria has. Men jealously guard admission to the highest levels of scientific careers. However, Skłodowska's genius, stubbornness and courage will soon begin to crush this resistance. And the extraordinary discoveries she and her husband Piotr Curie will make will earn her a well-deserved place in the scientific pantheon.
