The most famous poet of the 19th century, Emily Dickinson (Molly Shannon), supposedly avoided socialising and never got married. But what if she merely hated pretentious parties and was madly in love with her sister-in-law Susan, to whom she dedicated most of her beautiful poems? This original Victorian rom-com, directed by the icon of independent lesbian cinema Madeleine Olnek, offers a queer revision of the history of literature.
