The Moliere players are in their dressing room, getting ready to go on set. One actor mentions to another that his face reminds him of an opportunist turncoat he knew when he was in the Resistance. He then relates the adventure that he had in the Resistance, running an illegal radio station and dodging the Nazis.。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。。
