Cleveland, 1910: For a poor girl whose father has abandoned her,
the prospect of becoming an artist is almost non-existent. But
Bernice Abbott is resourceful and will happily challenge convention
in order to succeed. Setting out to fulfill her dream, she embarks
on a journey that will take her from bohemian Greenwich Village to
the giddy cafes of 1920s Paris to a New York rising from the ashes
of the Great Depression. On the way, illness and a tragic romance
test her mettle, but a lucky coincidence leads her to the emerging
art form of photography. Transforming herself from `dull' Bernice
to cosmopolitan Berenice, she sets the tone for life as a portrait
photographer in the Paris of Hemingway and Picasso, and prepares to
take on the men who are threatened by her vision and strength.
