Albert Nobbs

“A man with a secret. A woman with a dream.”

Albert Nobbs (Glenn Close) waits tables in the grandest hotel in Dublin, passing as a man because that is the only way a woman alone can keep such a job. Then Albert meets Hubert Page (Janet McTeer), a house painter who is also living under a man's name, and starts to picture a life beyond the pantry and the pocketed savings. Rodrigo García's film is about how much of a person gets buried under a disguise worn for survival.
