Storyline
In San Francisco in the 1950s, Margaret was a woman trying to make it on
her own after leaving her husband with only her daughter and her
paintings. She meets gregarious ladies' man and fellow painter Walter
Keane in a park while she was struggling to make an impact with her
drawings of children with big eyes. The two quickly become a pair with
outgoing Walter selling their paintings and quiet Margaret holed up at
home painting even more children with big eyes. But Walter's actually
selling her paintings as his own. A clash of financial success and
critical failure soon sends Margaret reeling in her life of lies. With
Walter still living the high life, Margaret's going to have to try
making it on her own again and re-claiming her name and her paintings.
