The year is 1837,Elizabeth Barrett, a 31-year-old woman moves to London with her family. Although she has a chance to develop her passion for literature by writing her own works, her life is not strewn with roses - Tuberculosis and a spinal injury suffered as a child give her a hard time and lock her out of her home, while her father, bitter after the death of his wife, does not allow her to marry(like her siblings). Elizabeth a few years later, in 1845, publishes two volumes of poetry she has written, which a young poet, Robert Browning, comes across. Delighted by her work, he sends Elizabeth a letter. He did not have to wait long for a reply. A relationship begins between the two poets, albeit at a distance, writing letters. Elizabeth is afraid of meeting him - afraid of the consequences from her father, of whether if Robert sees her he will break up with her. However, she takes the risk and sneaks out of the house at night to an agreed place. This one meeting was enough for love to ignite between them even more. When Robert proposes to her, Elizabeth makes a decision that will affect her entire life and her relationship with her father - she accepts the proposal.
