The year is 1973. While running errands for the Manhattan gallery where he works, James (Christopher Briney) is drawn into the orbit of Dalí (Kingsley) and Gala (Sukowa). The former likes James’s insight and reverence; the latter fancies his angelic face and youthful physique. James is soon working for the couple, monitoring Dalí’s productivity as an exhibition looms and luxuriating in the outré glamour of their coterie – which includes an endearingly droll Alice Cooper (Mark McKenna). The more James sees, however, the more he comes to understand his employers’ grotesque codependency – and how many of their associates are committing petty acts of fraud.
