The film "The Man Who Knew Infinity" tells the story of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a poor Indian mathematician who earns admittance to Cambridge University during WWI and becomes a pioneer in mathematical theories with the guidance of English mathematician G.H. Hardy. Born into poverty in Madras, India, Ramanujan's exceptional skills in mathematics are discovered by his employers, who encourage him to contact renowned professors, including Hardy. As Ramanujan delves deeper into mathematics, he faces racial prejudice and personal challenges, but ultimately gains recognition for his work and dies at the age of 32 due to illness.
