1941, Peggy, who has become a stand-out in the Parisian Bohemian scene, and her new love, painter Max Ernst, finally manage to leave a war-torn Europe. The obstacles that they must face are enormous and Peggy worries that Ernst will be returned to Germany. The painter does not find it easy to adapt to his new life with other exiled artists or play second fiddle to a famous woman. Peggy will have to decide if she wants to save her relationship or achieve her life-long goal of opening a gallery in New York. In the end, she will accomplish her most desired goal: open a museum with her name in Venice.
