1937. British socialite and painter Leonora Carrington meets Max Ernst, an older, married artist whose work has captivated Europe. She follows him to Paris, and gains recognition under her own name. When Max and his circle are denounced as "degenerates" and arrested, Leonora battles terrifying circumstances to survive. 1940.
