In the 1940's, New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep) dreams of becoming a great opera singer. Unfortunately, her ambition far exceeds her talent.

When Florence announces her plans for a concert at Carnegie Hall, St. Clair soon realises that he's facing his greatest challenge yet.
