The life of Lucille Ball, focusing on her loving yet tumultuous relationship with Desi Arnaz.

After her grandfather is financially ruined in a lawsuit over a shooting accident, Lucille "Lucy" Ball pursues her dream of fame as actress. She succeeds in comical parts, often the girl who gets the cake in her face. Then she meets and soon marries the love of her life, Desiderio "Desi" Arnaz, Latin bandleader and aristocratic son of an exiled Cuban mayor. Desi proves to be a business genius who gets a revolutionary method adopted to gain production control of the sitcom "I Love Lucy", a format devised for him and Lucy to star in. Despite offspring, their family life soon hits stormy waters, mainly because of his infidelity, gambling, and temper.—KGF Vissers
