 The story is about Wallis Simpson, the woman for whom a king gave up his throne and about Wally Winthrop, a young New York society wife. Wally was named after the Duchess of Windsor,  her mother and grandmother were obsessed with the stylish American double divorcée who stole a king’s heart.
Starring Abbie Cornish, Oscar Isaac, Richard Coyle, James D'Arcy and Andrea Riseborough.

According to credits also a story of a life told through stuff: evening gloves, cocktail shakers, baubles from Cartier, little hats trimmed with netting. "It’s as if Madonna went back in time and forgot to talk to actual people, to find out how they lived and what they thought — but she sure did a lot of shopping."
