The ensuing Nobel Prize propels the couple into the international limelight, but after a tragic accident Marie continues to advance her work, resulting in revolutionary discoveries that have dramatic consequences. From the producers of ATONEMENT and DARKEST HOUR and Academy Award nominated director Marione Satrapi (Persepolis) comes a bold, visionary depiction of the transformative effects and ensuing fallout of the Curie's work and how this shaped the 20th Century.
