Mary is an ambitious Jamaican woman determined to live a grand life; her adventures take her across oceans and eras, from a battlefield of the Crimean War to a contemporary nursing home, and many times and places in between.

The biopic of Mary Seacole, a Scottish-Jamaican nurse and heroine during the Crimean War.

The supposed apparition of a virgin to a religious woman turns an Argentine city into a point of attraction for devout Catholics and a great economic resource for a town hit by lack of employment.

1945. Of all the men from the village of Maslyanino who went to the front, only five of Maria's sons return. Why did fate choose them and how did the mother survive the war years, to whom the women of the village, at the instigation of the village shop saleswoman Vera, had attributed black magic since before the war, calling her a witch?

Mary must find a date for her younger cousin's wedding. A hopeless romantic's worst nightmare.
