Plot

Painting is an unacceptable vocation for a woman in provincial Germany in the year 1900, but budding artist Paula Becker is determined to make her own rules.

Sinekatalog’s take

A portrait of the painter Paula Becker, who defies convention to pursue art in provincial Germany. The film champions artistic independence with warmth and visual sensitivity. Recommended for viewers who enjoy biographical dramas about creative women.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
