She meets Stravinsky again - now a penniless refugee living in exile in Paris after the Russian Revolution, the attraction between them is immediate and electric. Coco offers Stravinsky the use of her new villa in Garches, so that he will be able to work, and he moves in straight away, with his children and consumptive wife. And so a passionate, intense love affair between two creative giants begins...
