An actress is cast to bring Paula Modersohn-Becker, one of Germany’s most influential painters, to life. As she immerses herself ever deeper into the artist’s world, encountering key figures such as Otto Modersohn, Clara Westhoff-Rilke, and Rainer Maria Rilke, the lines between role and reality, portrayal and identification, begin to dissolve. Accompanied by international experts and biographers, the journey illuminates the art-historical landscape while occasionally engaging in a reflective, self-aware dialogue with the film itself.
