SYNOPSIS…..
Lisa — a classically trained pianist, wife, and mother — yearns for something she can’t define. After she begins a study of jazz improv with an outspoken, trailblazing musician from the ’70s girl-band era (a woman who encourages Lisa to let go musically and emotionally), life takes an unexpected, irrevocable turn. When they become lovers, what began as a desire to learn jazz becomes a lesson in letting go: with music, with an old way of living, and finally with life itself. Based on Richter’s years together with musician and visionary composer Lynda Roth, past and present weave together in this intimate journey of awakened eroticism, exhilarating joy, nearly unbearable grief, and moments of spiritual renewal. Impressionistic and deeply personal, Fly, My Darling is a story of self-discovery and of what awaits when a woman striving to be free, finally is.
