In 1910 London, free-spirited Katharine Hilbery dares to chase her passion for astronomy instead of settling into the marriage her family envisions.

Guided by fresh connections—a fearless suffragette and a reflective editor—she starts challenging the boundaries imposed by convention, romance, and duty, eventually seeking a future she can call her own.

More About This Film

Virginia Woolf's Night & Day is a period comedy-drama set in London in 1910, following a passionate astronomer determined to build a life on her own terms rather than accept the expectations of Edwardian marriage and society.

The film combines romantic elements with a strong historical setting, using the tension between personal independence and social convention as its central dramatic force.
