The Bitter End
Synopsis
“You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance…”
American socialite Wallis Simpson’s life changed when she met King Edward VIII. Their love affair led to his abdication and made her the most talked-about woman in the world. Known for her daring style, she famously said, “I’m not a beautiful woman... so the only thing I can do is dress better than anyone else.”
After the Duke’s death in 1972, Wallis (Joan Collins) lives a secluded life in her Paris chateau, surrounded by loyal companions—Jean-Claude (Laurent Lafitte), her colourful confidant, and Louis (Buom Tihngang), her devoted butler.
Enter Maître Suzanne Blum (Isabella Rossellini), her trusted lawyer turned predator. What begins as protection becomes obsession, as Blum isolates, manipulates, and controls her client. Wallis and her allies must fight back in a dangerous game of deceit and power.
Freedom from those who hunt and harm is what matters most.
