Historical fiction based on a factual detail in the life of iconic silent screen star Louise Brooks. Set in 1922, the story unfolds as Cora Carlisle, a 36-year-old matron, escorts 15-year-old Louise to New York City, where the latter has been invited to study with the celebrated Denishawn dance company. The characterizations are finely drawn -- especially petulant, precocious Louise -- but the lion's share of the story belongs to the seemingly mundane Cora, who turns out to be anything but.
