The former famous painter Frenhofer lives quietly with his wife on a countryside residence in the French Provence. When the young artist Nicolas visits him with his girlfriend Marianne, Frenhofer decides to start again the work on a painting he long ago stopped: La Belle Noiseuse. And he wants Marianne as model.
Sun-drenched Provençal landscapes frame a quiet obsession as an aging painter attempts to resurrect a long-abandoned masterpiece. This intimate study of the creative spark transforms a simple portrait session into a profound battle between aging memory and youthful vitality.
