Franckhoff (played by Michel Piccoli) is a successful painter, and his wife Liz (played by Jane Birkin) has always been his source of inspiration and model, which makes Liz proud. However, over the years, Franckhoff's creative inspiration has gradually dried up, and when he faces a portrait of his wife, he finds himself at a loss for how to start. When Marianna (played by Emmanuelle Béart) appears before him through a friend's introduction, he has not picked up a paintbrush for nearly ten years. The sexy and free-spirited Marianna reignites the painter's passion, and the two of them crazily paint together in the closed studio all day. Liz tries hard to suppress her jealousy, but when Franckhoff covers his wife’s portrait with Marianna’s body, Liz can no longer endure it, and a quarrel breaks out between her and the painter. The painting is finished, but Franckhoff makes a shocking move by permanently embedding the perfect artwork into a stone wall, thus, this masterpiece will forever be hidden in darkness. The film does not overly depict the emotional entanglements of the three, but instead focuses the camera on the scenes of the painter at work, realistically restoring the life state of an artist and the painting scenes, giving the film a higher artistic intention.
