action
The film tells the story of one of America's most famous literary couples and begins in 1936 when the two first met during a chance encounter in a bar in Key West, Florida. A year later they meet again in Spain while they both report on the Spanish civil war and stay in the same hotel on the same floor. At first Gellhorn resists the famous author's romantic advances, but during a bomb attack the two are trapped alone in the same room and lust overcomes them. They become lovers and stay in Spain until 1939. Hemingway works with Joris Ivens to produce The Spanish Earth. In 1940 Hemingway divorced his second wife so that he and Gellhorn could marry. He credits her with inspiring him to write For Whom the Bell Tolls , published in 1940, and dedicates this work to his lover. Over time, however, Gellhorn himself became better known, which led to a certain degree of career jealousy between the two. Gellhorn leaves Hemingway to travel to Finland and report the winter war on his own. When she returns to Lookout Farm in Havana, Hemingway tells her that he is divorcing Pauline. The two get married and travel to China together to report on the Japanese bombings. In China, they interview Chiang Kai-shek and his spouse. Gellhorn is appalled after visiting an opium den. Chiang Kai-shek is fighting the Chinese communists and Japanese invaders. The two secretly visit Zhou Enlai. Gellhorn reported on D-Day in Normandy. She reported on the Dachau and Auschwitz concentration camps. After all, in 1945 Gellhorn was the only one of Hemingway's four women who asked for a divorce.
