Storia
In 1958 New York City, Diane Arbus (Nicole Kidman), a wealthy housewife and mother, feels unfulfilled in her conventional life. She assists her husband, Allan (Tyler Butler-Jefferson), who is sponsored by Diane's parents to pursue his photography career. When Lionel Sweeney (Robert Downey Jr.), a mysterious man afflicted with hypertrichosis, moves into the apartment above theirs, Diane feels an inexplicable attraction towards him. Through their relationship, she becomes introduced to the world of 'freaks' and marginalized people, eventually falling in love with Lionel. This connection inspires Diane to explore her own artistic abilities, ultimately leading her to become the renowned photographer known for her portraits of eccentric individuals.
