Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, sits in the passenger seat of a Cadillac in Cannes, 1953, her profile framed by the car's chrome window trim. Beside her, the blurred silhouette of the driver is visible: Jimmy Donahue, an heir to the Woolworth estate. Although openly gay, Donahue would later claim he had a four-year affair with the Duchess. In the background, a soft-focused coastal scene unfolds with palm trees silhouetted against the sky.
