隐于书后

故事发生在1845年的英国，安妮（查利·墨菲 Charlie Murphy 饰）、夏洛特（菲恩·阿特金斯 Finn Atkins 饰）和艾米丽（克洛伊·皮里 Chloe Pirrie 饰）三姐妹和他们年迈的老父亲一起过着相依为命的生活。弟弟布兰威尔（亚当·纳盖提斯 Adam Nagaitis 饰）的屡屡骚扰让这家人本就贫困的生活雪上加霜。 　　三姐妹都知道，如果父亲死了，她们或许就要失去赖以生存的房子，流落街头，为了避免这一事态的发生，她们用各自的方法努力着。三姐妹天生善于幻想，热爱写作，可是当时的文坛是不可能发表女性作家所写的作品的。于是，她们使用了男性的笔名写作投稿，并且最终获得了成功。In 1845 at Haworth on the Yorkshire moors sisters Anne, Charlotte and Emily Bronte and their father, a retired parson with failing eye-sight, are continually troubled by their drunken, irresponsible brother Branwell, who wastes every opportunity given him to become an artist. Charlotte fears for her own sight whilst Emily seeks refuge in writing about the imaginary land of Gondor but all three are fearful for their future should their menfolk die. Charlotte is impressed by Emily's work and encourages her to write a novel, inspired by a story told her by a former employer, which will become 'Wuthering Heights' All three sisters write novels, loosely based on their own experiences using androgynous masculine pen-names which are ultimately accepted for publication. Their success allows them to identify their true gender and to save the roof over their heads but Branwell's self-indulgence leads to his early death and both Emily and Anne succumb to sickness, dying young. An end title informs of Charlotte's continued success but she too will not survive middle age with their elderly father ironically left as the last of the Bronte family.
