France, 1770. Marianne, a young painter, is commissioned to paint the portrait of Héloïse ahead of her arranged marriage. But Héloïse refuses to sit for the portrait, so Marianne poses as a companion and secretly observes her in order to complete the painting.

As the days pass, an unexpected and profound bond develops between the two women. Céline Sciamma’s acclaimed masterpiece is a luminous and deeply moving story about love, freedom, desire, and memory.
