Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins) is a lonely divorcee and amateur historian who becomes obsessed with the legacy of King Richard III (Harry Lloyd), after he begins appearing to her in visions. With the reluctant support of her ex-husband, John (Steve Coogan), Phillipa begins an unrelenting quest to locate his remains, which have been missing for over 500 years – meeting incomprehension, scepticism, and sexism along the way.

From the creative team behind 2013’s Philomena, and based on incredible true events, this is an underdog story of a woman wanting to prove to the world that she deserves to be taken seriously.
