Synopsis

With great pleasure and determination, she explored both.Between 1900 and 1906, she visited Paris four times, spending a total of two years in the French capital. Like a sponge, the young German sucks up the Belle Epoque. She discovers Cézanne, meets Rodin, attends courses in private academies, draws daily in the Louvre. With excerpts from Paula Modersohn-Beckers' graphic and humorous letters, we expolore a unique city in dialogue with a young woman. A film about love for Paris and about the courage and self-esteem of a young artist who continues to develop herself and her work and thus became a pioneer of modernity.
