The story

In 1958, Margaret Ulbrich leaves her then-husband Frank and takes her young daughter Jane to North Beach, San Francisco, where she gets a job painting illustrations at a furniture factory.

The husband mistakenly assumes that Walter created the painting, and Walter does not deny being the painter of the work.

Afterward, he shows Margaret how much money he made selling her work and suggests they team up, with her staying at home painting and him taking credit and handling publicity and sales.
