The Portrait

The act of creating involves expressing one's inner being.

The Portrait — Plot

From Mona Lisa to Brigitte Bardot, artistic representation and perception of women is often shaped by traditional role models. In tongue-in-cheek fashion, director May Spils unmasks these dyed-in-the-wool structures and plays a young woman who can only fail in her attempt to paint a self-portrait.
