Sans titre, 1880

As she arrives in Paris to find a mentor, Donna, a young painter from a working-class background, finds herself caught in the conflict pitting two brothers against each other—one a painter, the other a photographer. Expecting to discover an impressionist city, she becomes aware of the technical challenges brought by modernity and their consequences.

From workshop to workshop and open-air dance hall to open-air dance hall, Donna finds her conception of art shaken up. And through her confrontation with strongly-tempered artists, she asserts herself as a woman. Her boldness and passion will alter the course of the arts.
