Synopsis by Jack Rodgers

This biopic of legendary musician Nina Simone (Zoe Saldana) focuses on the singer in her sixties as she forges an unusual relationship with a younger nurse named Clifton Henderson (David Oyelowo), whom she asks to be her personal assistant and accompany her to the South of France. Henderson is soon forced to deal with Simone's erratic behavior, and he ultimately tries to mount a comeback concert for her in New York City. Written and directed by Cynthia Mort.
