Storyline
In 1928, while Paris was living to the rhythm of the Roaring Twenties, the dancer Ida Rubinstein commissioned Maurice Ravel to write the music for her next ballet. Petrified and bereft of inspiration, the composer flipped through the pages of his life – the failures of his debut, the shattering of the Great War, the impossible love he felt for his muse Misia Sert… Ravel then plunged into the depths of himself to create his universal work, the Bolero.
