Psychologist William Moulton Marston and his wife Elizabeth work together in an academic world that offers them both ambition and constraint. The arrival of student Olive Byrne changes their professional and personal relationship, leading to an unconventional household built around the attachments among all three. Elizabeth and Olive’s bond is central to that arrangement, which brings emotional fulfillment alongside the risk of public judgment. The film connects their private life to the development of Wonder Woman while exploring the pressures of respectability, secrecy and economic survival. Presented as a dramatized interpretation of historical figures, it follows people attempting to sustain a form of love for which the world around them has little room.
