The tragic story of French naïve painter Séraphine Louis aka Séraphine de Senlis (1864-1942), a humble servant who becomes a gifted self-taught painter. Discovered by prominent critic and collector William Uhde, she came to prominence between the wars grouped with other naïve painters like Henri Rouseau only to descend into madness and obscurity with the onset of the Great Depression and World War II.

Yolande Moreau plays the industrious but touched washerwoman-turned-painter Seraphine de Senlis with an open-faced conviction that is almost unnerving in its intensity.
