Edith and Little Edie Beale are at the center of lost footage from the Maysles brothers' 1972 visit to their home. Lee Radziwill and Peter Beard introduced the filmmakers to the Beales while working on a project about Radziwill's childhood. The documentary features notable figures such as Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Mick Jagger, and Truman Capote, who interact within a world marked by class expectations. The recovered reels present Beard's artistic vision, contrasting the glamorous lives of these icons with the Beales' challenging circumstances.
