The Midwife's Tale background

The Midwife's Tale

A young girl, daughter of a loving lesbian couple, requests a story about a "knightess," leading her parents to craft a fantastical tale of a lady who dares to defy societal norms by falling in love with a skilled midwife, a taboo romance that shatters conventions of their time.

A mother returns home from work to find her young daughter eagerly awaiting a bedtime story about a brave knightess named Lady Eleanor. The story takes place in medieval times, where Lady Eleanor, the wife of William, finds herself at odds with the church and its attempts to suppress folk traditions and the healing work of a skilled midwife. As Eleanor navigates this treacherous landscape, she must also confront her own fears and the uncertain future that awaits her and her unborn child.
