1977: Maria Callas, once the world's greatest opera diva, lives in seclusion in Paris with her staff and her two poodles.

Her health is getting worse and worse. Then she receives a request to go on tour again. Will La Callas sing again? And if so, for whom?

'Jolie’s broadly theatrical but delicately unraveling performance feels immersive and self-revealing in equal measure, as if Maria Callas is a conduit for her to reclaim her own identity as an artist and a human being' - David Ehrlich, indieWire
