One day, Norman Warne (Ewan McGregor) came & wanted to publish her books. ("The Tale of Peter Rabbit"). Later on she succeeded in becoming the famous author. She fell in love with Norman & plan to get married but her parents disagree about it. They persuaded the couple to keep their relationship a secret until the summer ends. If by then the couple can sustain the relationship, their parents would give their blessings and announce the relationship in public.
Near the summer, the Potter's family had vacation in a farm. So Beatrix & Norman had to be separated from each other for the time being. They kept in touch by letters. One day, Norman fell ill. When Beatrix came back to London, it was too late; Norman has passed away & was buried one day before her arrival.

She lived there by herself & continued her career as an author.

CJ Tan said:
This movie is very classic, sweet, heart warming and romantic. The England sceneries in this movie are spectacularly beautiful, packed with pretty flowers, calm lake, the mountains, the trees, the winds, the wide green fields, the birds & other natural sounds.
Though this is a classic biography film, but the story line is not monotonous at all because there are flash back tricks. Renee played extremely well! She is able to get the audience interested & curious to follow the story till the end.
