Florence Foster Jenkins is a wealthy American socialite with a dream – to become a great opera singer. The only problem? She can’t sing. Undeterred, Florence throws herself into flamboyant performances, outrageous costumes and public recitals, supported by her loyal accompanist Cosme McMoon.
As Florence prepares for her most ambitious concert yet, critics circle and disaster looms – but nothing can crush her indomitable spirit or her love of music.
