Einstein's wife, my synopsis for your comments

Hi, would love to know what you think Logline: Based on Einstein's tellers to his first wife, Mileva Maric, this controversial dramatic biopic reveals the trials and tribulations of this female physics prodigy. 1955, A young woman runs off after witnessing Einstein's autopsy. She is Mileva's abandoned daughter. 56 years earlier, Mileva Matic starts school, as the only woman to ever be accepted at the physics faculty. She is ready to do what ever it takes to become a renown physician. At school she is bullied by Paul while she falls in love with William. Her father would love for her to be a ''normal woman'', marry and raise kids. One eventually captures her reluctant heart, Albert Einstein. They invite him home where a discussion takes place about the role of women and men. Men would destroy themselves if women did not exist yet they will not allow women to shine in roles they have decided to play in the world. In order to reinforce the theme, every time Mileva will have a conflict with Einstein, something dramatic will occur in history. Their divorce makes the start of the first world war. Her death will coincide with the explosion of the first Atomic bomb. Mileva successfully completes her exam and expects first prize. But she is given second place due to her gender. Out of desperation, she agrees to marry Einstein and becomes pregnant again. This child will be schizophrenic. She helps Einstein develop his theories but will never get publicly recognized for them. Einstein leaves for the United States while Mileva has to live the hardships of the Nazi invasion, losing her son and William, her love, who we find out was gay. Both are taken away. On the same day, she meets Paul again. The bully admits that he was actually in love with her. He helps her regain a sense of self and the last part of her life being recognized as the genius she was by him and the faculty where she teaches. The movie ends in 1955, when her abandoned daughter, by reconnecting with Einstein's second wife who kept his letters to his first wife, she gains the power to bring Mileva's truth and restore her legacy.

confused of the story. Whose POV is telling the story, the daughter or Mileva Matic? Are you making Einstein the jerk/bad guy/Rival ? The relationship is not clear. Using real History like WW1 or A-bomb drop are not themes. they are metaphors. Not sure why she is desperate that she has to marry Einstein and then he dumps her. What is her legacy and why is she important to make a biopic? Now if you say she developed the A Bomb and Einstein stole her fame, that would be a selling point. What are in the letters, are they used in the story as a dramatic moment?
