Ključna beseda Womans Story

Travmatično otroštvo, neverjeten glas, nevarne zasvojenosti in nesrečne ljubezni, sloves najboljše jazz vokalistke vseh časov – vse to je Billie Holiday. O življenju pevke so se dejstva prepletla z miti in film je odraz prav tega. Delno biografska, delno pa fiktivna zgodba, ki nas popelje po ustvarjalni poti veličastne, a hkrati tragične Lady Day. Zgodba nas pelje skozi vsa pomembnejša obdobja glavne junakinje, od posilstva in začetkov v javni hiši, do nastopanja v lokalni beznici, zvezdništva in fatalnih težav s heroinom in alkoholom, ki sta jo popolnoma sesula. Je pa jasno, da Holidayjeva nikoli ne bi bila taka zvezda in taka legenda, če ne bi nenehno pila in se drogirala. Heroin in njen vokal sta šla z roko v roki.
