In a vibrant and optimistic New York at the end of the 1930s, a young actress named Maisie Ravier lives life to the fullest, but her days of glory on stage carry a touch of nostalgia. Maisie is the center of attention in a lush theater company, where her natural talent makes her the audience's favorite. However, her personal life has more ups and downs than a roller coaster.
Since her parents separated, Maisie has had to develop a strong character, eager to find her place in a world where every day is a struggle to stand out. Through her relationships with a diverse group of characters, including an ambitious director and her complicated co-stars, she faces the realities of love and friendship. When she finds herself caught in a love triangle filled with intrigue and misunderstandings, she must choose between following her heart or pursuing her dreams.
As the curtain rises once again, Maisie will learn that life on stage is only part of the story: the real drama unfolds backstage. Full of humor, romance, and a touch of tragedy, this tale reminds us that sometimes the true prize isn't the applause of the audience, but self-acceptance. With splendid performances, the film captures the essence of self-discovery and the ups and downs of youth during a golden age for cinema.
