This dramatic feature film centres on the early 1930s and painter Leonora Carrington, who was a rebel against social expectations, joining the surrealist movement and its iconic figures like André Breton and Salvador Dalí in Paris. A whirlwind love affair with artist Max Ernst confronts her with her inner demons. During the war, Leonora flees to Mexico and finally empowers herself. Today Leonora Carrington is one of the highest-selling female painters worldwide, alongside Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keeffe.
