Albert Nobbs is a woman living as a man in order to find work in... the harsh environment of 19th-century Ireland. After living as a male for thirty years, Albert, working as a hotel waiter, is known for his extreme dedication to his job, as well as his introverted personality. Albert has been saving as much money as he can to buy a shop for himself with, hopefully, a wife by his side. Albert's steadfast work is shaken by the sudden arrival of Hubert Page , a house painter hired by Mrs. Baker , the hotel owner. Albert is shocked that Hubert is to room with him while he works at the hotel.
