Through Einstein's recollections, chemist Fritz Haber's career is dramatized from scientific advances that help feed millions to his work on chemical weapons. Haber's ambition and nationalism strain his marriage to Clara Immerwahr and his friendship with Einstein, whose pacifism challenges the use of science for war.
Philip Carey abandons his artistic ambitions for medicine but becomes consumed by an unhappy attachment to Mildred. His pursuit of love and beauty forces him to confront dependency, disappointment, and the possibility of a different life.
On the day of William Shakespeare’s funeral, Anne Hathaway receives and resists reading his will. She recalls their private marriage, his life in London, and her struggle to protect their children during plague; the bequest of the second-best bed turns her grief into anger and a decision to make a life of her own.
