Portrait Of A Lady On Fire is an intimate and deeply affecting period drama about freedom, love and desire. Marianne is a young painter in 18th Century France, commissioned to do a wedding portrait of Héloïse without her knowing. 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.
