Bridport Arts Centre
Screening as one of Chris Chibnall (Screenwriter and Curator of From Page to Screen Film Festival 2026)’s Desert Island Script Choices.
On a remote island off the coast of Brittany, desire and defiance quietly take root. In late 18th-century France, gifted painter Marianne is commissioned to create a wedding portrait of Héloïse – without Héloïse ever knowing she’s being painted. Posing as a companion, Marianne studies her subject by day and paints her in secret by night. But as the days pass, observation turns into connection, and connection into something far more powerful.
A visually stunning and emotionally charged story of love, art, and the cost of independence.
