In 1580, William Shakespeare, who works as a Latin teacher in the small English village of Stratford-upon-Avon, falls in love with Agnes. Rumors circulate in the village that she is not a healer, but a witch. However, this does not bother William. The two start a new life together and quickly have three children: first Susanna is born, followed by the twins Judith and Hamnet. But for William, dreaming does not stop with the family. He wants to leave teaching behind and work as a playwright, which is difficult in the countryside. At Agnes's urging, he moves to London. Initially, the family is only separated by distance, but then the plague breaks out and kills the eleven-year-old Hamnet. This motivates William to write a play in honor of his son. The story is based on the novel of the same name by Maggie O'Farrell.
