Historically accurate but interpreted artistically, as it tells the story of 
Lotte Lenya and her creative and passionate relationship with Kurt Weill.

From marriage to divorce to remarriage, theirs was an often-dissonant union 
of two geniuses.  Fraught with deception, guilt and guile, music ultimately 
confirmed their love.
