"Portrait of a Lady on Fire" marks Adèle Haenel's final role in the French film industry. This story unfolds in late 18th-century France, where Marianne, a painter, is assigned to secretly create a portrait of Héloïse, a noblewoman, ahead of her upcoming marriage.

Marianne must discreetly observe Héloïse, capturing every aspect of her appearance to craft the perfect painting. She even pretends to be Héloïse's friend, spending days with her and painting her in the evenings.

As they spend time together, a bond and attraction develop between them. They share precious moments of freedom before Héloïse's impending wedding. The portrait Marianne paints becomes a symbol of their hidden love.
