The 1950s. William Moulton Marston teaches psychology at Harvard. An illustration buff, unbeknownst to his students and colleagues he has created Wonder Woman, the heroine of protofeminist comic books who was censured at the time. A controversial, sexy and astute character, her genesis can be traced back to the two women Marston loved: his wife Elizabeth and Olive, his student and the third element of a ménage à trois which had to be kept secret. But can a person love and live his own sexuality freely when he is surrounded by raging hate and obscurantism?

Declaration
film director
“Marston believed that women were the superior sex and they should be running the world. When I shared all this information with my friends, they all said, ‘you should write this as a movie.’ My initial impulse was to create a Marston biopic, but the more I learned about Elizabeth and Olive, the more I realized that I couldn’t understand him without understanding the role they’d played in his life. […] This wasn’t the story of a wife and a mistress living together. What I was looking at was a love story between three people.”
