Dream of happiness

Paris, 1937. Rebellious heiress Peggy Guggenheim enjoys life in the glamorous bohemian world of the French capital, where one glamorous cocktail party follows another. But Peggy has a dream. He wants to open his own gallery and finally stand on his own two feet. Then she falls in love with a tall man with sparkling eyes: by the writer Samuel Beckett.

But the stars do not favour their love, because Peggy can only realise her dream in far-away London, far away from Beckett. Dark clouds are gathering on the horizon – and when the war forces countless artists to flee Europe, Peggy helps whoever she can, risking both her life and her love.
