Coby Yee, a 92-year-old retired nightclub dancer and icon from San Francisco Chinatown’s

golden age, and Stephen King, a man 20 years her junior who has been an experimental

filmmaker since the 1960s anti-war movement. They have found an unlikely love in each other

through matching outfits, dance, and art. Coby updated Stephen’s wardrobe soon after they

started dating, she hand-makes all of their clothes and ensures that they never leave the house

without matching outfits from head to toe. Stephen has become Coby’s personal archivist, he

creates photo albums and collages constructed from glamorous images of Coby, from the past

and the present. As their final performance in Las Vegas approaches, Coby and Stephen start

to prepare their last dance on the curtain call.
