"Marjorie Morningstar" is a thrilling story of ambition, rebellion, and great love. Nineteen years old, a cascade of brown curls, large blue eyes and an ambitious dream: not to be a student like many others in New York in the 1930s, but to become the most acclaimed actress on Broadway. While her parents, who live in a luxurious skyscraper overlooking Central Park, want their daughter to fit into the city's most refined salons and marry a good match, Marjorie disdains the handsome, wealthy boys who court her, enrolls in a theater course and begins to frequent the bohemian environment that should lead her to success. This is how she meets the charismatic Noel Airman, a playwright and composer of little fortune, but as fascinating as he is unreliable and elusive. Guided by her passion for Noel, Marjorie will embark on a tortuous and uncertain path, which from New York will lead her on a ship to Paris, in an attempt to find the man she loves above all else and finally give life to her dreams...
