| Summary |
London, 1937: 20-year-old Leonora Carrington is discovering her own creative powers as a painter, when she falls into a turbulent, passionate love affair with Max Ernst. Leonora begins to experiment with her own work, translating vivid stories of her youth onto canvas and gaining recognition under her own name, until, suddenly, the shadow of war and occupation begins to spread over Europe. Forced to flee France, Max and Leonora are separated, but both begin remarkable journeys that will shape them as artists and individuals. On the run from an internment camp, Max seeks the aid of Peggy Guggenheim, who is helping artists escape from the Nazis, while Leonora, once trapped in a Spanish asylum, begins to claim her identity and unleash the quiet, inner power that will eventually make her one of the most influential women of the time. |
