Brought to an island under false pretenses, leads to secrecy as Marianne is brought to paint a portrait of a Heloise before her wedding day arrives. As the two become more involved in each other's lives, a relationship blossoms that is not only forbidden but also on a time restraint. A film with a beautiful story, great use of foreshadowing and a fantastic message as Celine Sciamma has created a story that will have you asking when are you finished? and the answer is "at some point you just stop, and you know it's done"
