The thread that connects the lives of the three different generations of women in the film is Virginia Woolf's novel "Mrs Delovay". Nicole Kidman portrays writer Virginia Woolf in 1930s England, struggling with depression and nervous exhaustion. The role is complex, based on individual gestures and composed of moments. The actress won the first Oscar of her career for this memorable role. In addition to Nicole Kidman's Oscar win, the film was nominated in eight other categories, and the mesmerising soundtrack by composer Philip Glass deserves special mention.
