What Will Be The Plot Of The Wonder?
The Wonder takes place in Ireland in 1862. Meanwhile, Lib Wright (Florence Pugh), a suspicious English nurse, is sent to a small community to observe and authenticate what the call of a miracle is about.
Anna O’Donnell, an 11-year-old profoundly pious girl, is believed to have lasted for months without food, subsisting exclusively on manna from heaven.’ Tourists have descended on Anna’s cabin, and a journalist is covering the tale, but is everything as it appears?
As Lib and a nun take turns observing the girl to see if she is eating and, if not, how she is surviving without food, she grows anxious to learn the truth. But as she and Anna become closer, it’s up to Lib to figure out what’s going on and stop the damage to Anna’s life.

Who created The Wonder?
The Wonder is inspired by Emma Donoghue’s book of the same name, which she developed for the film alongside Alice Birch and director Sebastián Lelio.
Emma Donoghue was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA for her 2015 adaptation of her own 2010 book Room, directed by Lenny Abrahamson and starring Brie Larson.
Is There a Trailer for ‘The Wonder’?
Yes, there absolutely is a trailer for The Wonder, which will keep spectators guessing until the film’s debut.
From the start, Pugh’s role, Lib, is informed that it is her role “not to question” the religious men at the center of Anna’s group.
She is then seen driving to Anna’s house, where she has been posted for two weeks to keep an eye on the 9-year-old, who has seemingly accomplished the unimaginable by going four months without eating.
The teaser then cuts to encounters between Lib and Anna, in which Anna claims she doesn’t need to eat but Lib is convinced her life is in danger.
The Wonder will be released in cinemas on November 2nd and on Netflix on November 16th.
