Paris 1913, Coco Chanel is devoted to her work and madly in love with Arthur "Boy" Capel. At the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Igor Stravinsky premieres his Rite of Spring. Coco attends the premiere and is mesmerised. But the revolutionary work is too modern, too radical: the enraged audience boos and jeers. A near-riot ensues. Stravinsky is inconsolable. Seven years later, the rich, respected and successful Coco is devastated by Boy Capel's death. She meets Stravinsky again—now penniless and exiled by the Russian Revolution. Their attraction is immediate and electric. Coco offers Stravinsky the use of her new country villa so that he will be able to work. He moves in straight away, with his children and consumptive wife. And so a passionate, intense love affair between two creative giants begins. With costumes by Karl Lagerfeld, and starring Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) and Chanel's own Anna Mougalis, Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky is a lavish tale of drive and obsession, which has been officially endorsed by the House of Chanel.
