Set in the international world of classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tár, the first-ever female chief conductor of a major German orchestra. As she prepares for the release of her memoir while juggling work and family, she is also willing to take up one of her most significant challenges: a live recording of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5. However, forces that even the imperious maestro can't control slowly chip away at Lydia's elaborate facade, revealing the genius's dirty secrets and the insidious, corrosive nature of power.
