Maud Dowley (Sally Hawkins) es una mujer alegre de Nueva Escocia que sueña con independizarse de su protectora familia. Everett Lewis (Ethan Hawke) es un huraño pescador local que busca asistenta. Tras ver su anuncio, Maudie no tarda en mudarse a casa de Everett para encargarse de las tareas del hogar. Pero lo que comienza siendo una difícil convivencia entre dos polos opuestos poco a poco irá transformándose en una historia de amor... Basada en hechos reales, la película cuenta la historia de la pintora canadiense Maud Lewis, de su relación con el que se convirtió en su inseparable compañero de vida Everett Lewis, y de cómo sus sencillas pinturas llegaron a ser vistas y reconocidas por todos los rincones del país convirtiéndola en una de las artistas folk más representativas de Canadá.

In 1937, a young First Nations (Canadian native) girl named Ashtecome is kidnapped along with several other children from a village as part of a deliberate Canadian policy to force First Nations children to abandon their culture in order to be assimilated into white Canadian/British society. She is taken to a boarding school where she is forced to adopt Western Euro-centric ways and learn English, often under brutal treatment. Only one sympathetic white teacher who is more and more repelled by this bigotry offers her any help from among the staff. That, with her force of will, Ashtecome (forced to take the name Amelia) is determined to hold on to her identity and that of her siblings, who were also abducted.
