The film begins with Diane Arbus (Nicole Kidman) visiting a nudist colony in order to capture photographs. Welcomed by Jack Henry (Boris McGiver) and Tippa Henry (Marceline Hugot), she is invited to disrobe if she wishes to take any pictures. The narrative then shifts back to New York City in 1958, where Diane, the assistant to her husband Allan (Ty Burrell), grapples with the restrictions of her affluent upbringing. Raised in a wealthy family, with a mother, Gertrude Nemerov (Jane Alexander), and a furrier father, David Nemerov (Harris Yulin), Diane feels suffocated by her mundane role as a city wife and mother to their two daughters, Grace (Emmy Clarke) and Sophie (Genevieve McCarthy).
