1900: Adele Bloch-Baueryoung, beautiful, brilliant, and Jewishmeets the modern painter Gustav Klimt in turn-of-the-century Vienna when sex, art, and anti-Semitism are just beginning to break through the faade of conventional society. She is a wealthy young bride staring down a lifetime of thwarted creative and intellectual longing, and her intoxicating vulnerability and intensity fuel a love triangle that threatens her world, even as it ignites the creation of Klimts greatest works: Judith, the blood-lusty femme fatale; the Portrait of Adele in gold, and the voluptuous Kiss.
