Marie Curie: The Courage of Knowledge

A short time after being the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize for Physics, Marie Curie (Karolina Gruszka) loses her husband Pierre (Charles Berling). In a world dominated by men, shecontinues her research alone, and is the first woman to receive a chair at the Sorbonne in Paris. Shortly thereafter, she begins an affair with scientist Paul Langevin (Arieh Worthalter), and just as soon as it becomes known that she is receiving her second Nobel Prize, the Paris press publishes correspondence between Marie and Paul. Amid her professional fame, Curie is now the target of defamation, as she must bitterly learn that reason and passion are not compatible.
