Maria tells the story of legendary opera singer Maria Callas. In an intimate portrait of the last days of this iconic diva’s life, we see her struggle with apparitions, her mental state, the fear of losing her voice, and memories of her youth and loved ones. Supported by servants, friends, and her beautiful music, Callas wanders through the rooms of her apartment and the streets of 1970s Paris, revealing the vulnerable woman behind the icon as she grapples with the challenges of fame, love, and the quest for artistic perfection.
