action

The wealthy Marguerite Dumont lives in Paris in the 1920s and loves music and especially opera. Although she is not a particularly good singer, she enjoys singing for her friends. Her husband and best friends acknowledge that she has a great voice. After the young journalist Lucien Beaumont writes an extremely positive-sounding article about her, but only wants to have a joke, Marguerite feels encouraged in her plan to start a music career and decides to perform in front of a real audience. Her husband Georges tries to dissuade her from her plans, and the framework of lies threatens to collapse.

background

The film is based on the true life story of Florence Foster Jenkins . The rich American heiress and widow was generally enthusiastic about music and especially convinced of her great voice. At the beginning of the 20th century she performed various arias and songs in exquisite costumes and in front of a select audience, once even in the sold-out Carnegie Hall in New York. Her vocal appearances were considered insider tips and her fans forgave her if she didn't hit the tone or rhythm of the selected compositions.
