In the 1920’s, Antonia Brico aspires to become the first woman to lead an orchestra but after she arouses the interest of Frank she is torn between ambition and love.

Her debut is a success but the resulting furore forces her to return to the US, where the bias against women musicians inspires her to start a female orchestra.
