A richly textured historical drama exploring the creative partnership between a visionary dancer and a master composer, told through a non-linear lens that mirrors the artistic process itself.

Boundary-pushing Russian dancer and actress Ida Rubinstein selects renowned French composer Maurice Ravel to compose the music for her next ballet. Ravel ends up creating his greatest success ever: Boléro.
