1. Save Me The Waltz
A Southern belle marries a celebrated painter and follows him through Jazz Age society from New York to the French Riviera, but grows restless in his shadow and hurls herself into ballet, training to the point of injury to claim an artistic identity of her own. As their marriage strains under infidelity, ego, and fame, she confronts the costs of ambition and the ache for recognition, ultimately reckoning with the distance between romantic fantasies and the fragile reality of selfhood.
