Josephine (late 20s)  

A gloriously fragile mess of a young woman. A struggling artist who wreaks havoc all around herself  - yet everyone falls in love with her because she has an undeniable charm.

Claire (60s) 

Josephine’s mother. A successful, sophisticated and eccentric gallery owner and poet. Her work has been banned in 27 countries.  She has a sharp tongue and a sharp sense of humor. People admire her, but are usually scared of her.
