The story begins in the South of France 1938, where Lee is vacationing with her dearest and closest friends who are artists, poets, and confidants. A former model and subject of the avantgarde photographer Man Ray, Lee, now tired of being viewed through a lens and by men, is focused exclusively on her own work as a photographer. The threat of war looms and almost overnight everything about their daily lives changes completely. In the midst of the blitz Lee Miller follows the love of her life, the art dealer Roland Penrose, to his hometown of London, where she seeks out work as a photographer for British “Vogue”. Frustrated by the restrictions placed on female photographers at the time, who are limited to documenting life on the home front, and tired of hearing that women are expected to “do their duty” whilst the “men get to decide what that is!”, Miller urges her female boss at British “Vogue”, Audrey Withers, to request permission from the Ministry of Information for Lee to go to the front line.
