For more than two decades, their relationship survived secrecy, alcoholism, infidelity, illness and increasing dependence. This documentary explores the contradiction at the heart of one of Old Hollywood’s most famous romances: was Hepburn sacrificing her independence—or exercising it in the most complicated way possible?
