Maudie (Sally Hawkins), a bright-eyed, intelligent woman, hunched and with hands disabled by arthritis, yearns to be independent from her overly protective family. She answers an advertisement for a housekeeper by a 40-year-old bachelor, Everett (Ethan Hawke), who owes nothing to anyone. She is a terrible housekeeper and spends most of her time painting. But over time, she wins his heart. When they realize people will actually buy her cards and paintings, he supports and encourages her. Maudie’s determination for her art, along with her partnership with Everett, blossoms into a career as a famous folk artist.
Starring Academy Award® Nominee Ethan Hawke (Gattaca), Academy Award® Nominee Sally Hawkins (Happy-Go-Lucky), Kari Matchett (Cube²: Hypercube), Garielle Rose (The Sweet Hereafter) and Zachary Bennett (Anonymous)
