Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Overview

On a windswept, isolated island in 18th-century Brittany, a young painter is commissioned to create a portrait of a reluctant bride-to-be, a woman poised to be married off without her consent. Forbidden from speaking to her subject, the artist must observe and memorize, capturing a fleeting likeness under the guise of companionship. As days turn into stolen moments and shared glances, a profound connection ignites, a forbidden understanding that transcends duty and societal constraints, blossoming into an unforgettable, ephemeral flame.
