It’s love at first sight when young writer James Joyce meets the frank and uninhibited hotel maid Nora Barnacle. The couple leave Dublin and set up home in Trieste where their passionate and tempestuous life together begins. Joyce is tormented by a fear that his work will never be published, but Nora's simplicity and humor help him conquer his fears.
