Pioneer of feminism, Virginia Woolf is considered one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century.

England, March 1941. Virginia Woolf walks along the banks of the River Ouse. He picks up a stone from the ground, weighs it in the palm of his hand and observes the flow of water. Think of the fierce battle unfolding in the world and within it. Everything that accompanied her to that shore shines in images that represent the great strength of her feelings, such as the passion for her lover Vita Sackville-West, the tenderness for her husband Leonard and the pain for the terrible family mourning. Those feelings, which she turned into her works, revolutionized literature and elevated her as one of the most important writers of all time.
