It’s 1920s Paris and composer, Maurice Ravel is at the height of his fame.
But he’s facing growing pressure from critics that his most recent works lack emotion and sensuality.
Enter the bohemian choreographer, Ida Rubinstein. She wants to commission Ravel to write a steamy new score for her latest ballet. Something bold yet sensual.
Intimidated but intrigued, the mild-mannered Ravel agrees, little realising this project will launch him into creative purgatory.
The process becomes one of Ravel navigating his self-doubt as he painstakingly creates the piece that will become his calling card.
“This is a compassionate portrait of creative’s process and struggle, with a lead performance just as meticulous as a Ravel composition.” – Gazettely
