Actor: Jeanne Balibar

Paris, the Roaring Twenties. Choregrapher Ida Rubinstein chooses Maurice Ravel to compose the music for her next ballet. She wants something bold, something sensual. Well known and established, Ravel finds himself incapable of writing anything. Reliving his memories, facing his old loves and failures, the composer will give birth to his greatest success ever : the Bolero.

A director shoots a documentary about all kinds of actresses: stars, drama queens, unknowns, has-beens… At first distant, she is quickly pulled in by those fragile but manipulative women, and ends up falling in love with one of them. Maïwenn continues to blur the line between reality and fiction in this send-up of the icons of cinema.
