On a remote island in Brittany in the late 18th century, the artist Marianne is given a secret mission: to paint the wedding portrait of the young Héloïse. As the days go by, the two become closer — the last moments of freedom before Héloïse enters her predestined marriage.
‘Sciamma builds her story out of glances and stares, of women’s faces illuminated by candlelight or the harsh white sun on the beach, of mirrored surfaces that invite careful looking.’ (The New Yorker)
