Annette Bening as Diana Nyad and Jodie Foster as Bonnie Stoll in Nyad, a wonderful film that stands out for celebrating the fierce, ageing beauty of two real-life, flesh and blood women.
It is based on a true story. The protagonist is an Irish nun living in France and working as a nurse during the Second World War, caring for both German and Allied soldiers.
