On the evening of Friday, 19 February 1972, Helen Morgan walked into a bar in New York’s East Village with a pistol in her bag. She came to meet her husband, the great jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan. They argued, he threw her out of the bar. Moments later, she walked in again, shot Lee and gave up the weapon slowly. Ten years later, Helen let herself be interviewed about her life with the talented, but unstable musician. These interviews form the basis for this deeply moving and beautifully produced documentary film from Swedish Kasper Collin, who previously made “My Name is Albert Ayler”.
