A Quiet Passion tells the story of American poet Emily Dickinson, from her early days as a young schoolgirl to her later years as a reclusive artist whose work earned recognition years after her death. Jennifer Ehle also stars.

“Since its great reception in Berlin, A Quiet Passion has been on buyers’ lists as an award campaign worthy project”, said Moring. “Nixon’s performance is simply fantastic.”
