Portrait of a Lady on Fire

France, 1760. Summoned to an isolated cliff-side manor squeezed between the wild sea and the rugged landscapes of a wind-swept island off the Brittany Coast, for-hire painter Marianne is on a secret mission. Commissioned by an Italian countess to paint the wedding portrait of her uncooperative daughter Heloise, Marianne has to soak up the fine detail of sad-eyed Heloise's face during the day while posing as her promenade companion. However, as Marianne steals a glance at unsuspecting Heloise to capture aspects of her figure on canvas at night, fleeting peeks become hungry gazes. Little by little, this delicate game of wordless intimacy forges quiet adoration between the unconventional painter and her subject. But can the liberating force of art set the lady on fire free?
