Paris, the Roaring Twenties. Choreographer Ida Rubinstein chooses Maurice Ravel to compose the music for her next ballet. She wants something bold, something sensual, ‘Carnal! Bewitching! Erotic!’ Already well-known and established as France’s foremost living composer, Ravel finds himself incapable of writing anything. Reliving his memories, facing his old loves and failures, close friendships, military service during the First World War, the composer will give birth to his greatest success ever: the Boléro.
