Based on a remarkable true story, discover how the poor son of a miner became one of the greatest actors known to the world, with the help of an unlikely mentor. In the Welsh town of Port Talbot, 1942, Richard Jenkins' (Harry Lawtey) natural talent for drama catches the attention of his teacher, Philip Burton (BAFTA winner Toby Jones). Philip takes Richard under his wing and the young man thrives with guidance from kindly landlady, Ma Smith (Academy Award nominee Lesley Manville). However, as the acting world comes within Richard’s reach, the burden of his past risks holding him back forever.
