Born in to poverty in Krakow Poland, this incredible story of self-invention is set in 1928 at the height of her powers. Facing a choice of saving her marriage or her company, Helena makes the difficult decision to sell her cosmetics empire to the Lehman Brothers in a stunning deal that makes her the richest self-made woman in the world. But with the 1929 stock market crash, her husband’s apparent infidelity and tested loyalties, things soon come crashing down and she faces losing everything.
