Based on a true story, a folk artist named Maud Lewis, who suffers from severe arthritis, takes a job as a live-in housekeeper for a reclusive fish peddler in rural Nova Scotia. Despite his initial gruffness, she gradually transforms his sparse home with her vibrant paintings. Their difficult relationship slowly evolves into an unexpected partnership and marriage, as her artistic reputation grows beyond their small community.
