Girlhood director Céline Sciamma returns with Portrait of a Lady on Fire, winner of the coveted Best Screenplay and QueerPalm awards at the Cannes Film Festival.
Marianne is a young painter in 18th Century France commissioned to do a wedding portrait of Héloïse. Marianne disguises herself as her companion to get closer to her subject – observing by day and secretly painting at night. Intimacy and attraction grow between the two women as they share Héloïse’s first and last moments of freedom. The portrait soon becomes a collaborative act, and a testament to their love.
