Director Hannah Rothschild tells the story of her great-aunt, the remarkable Nica de Koenigswater, wealthy granddaughter of Britain's first Jewish Member of Parliament. She left her husband and five children after WW II to become the unlikely muse of Thelonius Monk. Her Park Avenue apartment was the scene of a scandal: Charlie Parker's death from a drug overdose. Classic jazz tunes provide the score for this lyrical, haunting portrait of an incredible life.
