Synopsis

Portrait of the artist as a young woman

When Lea Glob meets artist Apolonia Sokol, the two become intertwined over the years as the Danish filmmaker returns to film the artist again and again. Apolonia’s parents ran an underground theatre group in Paris, and she grew up in a bohemian environment before studying painting at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. As Glob’s camera follows Apolonia during key moments in her life and career, the director reflects on their relationship and her own place in the world.
