Histoire
In the 1930s Australia, Anglican clergyman Anthony Campion and his wife Estella are tasked with visiting renowned painter Norman Lindsay to assess his controversial artwork for an international exhibition, which is deemed blasphemous by some. During their visit, Estella becomes captivated by three of Lindsay's models: Sheela, a freethinking woman; Pru, who exudes sensuality; and Giddy, the virginal one. As Campion and Lindsay engage in debates about art and religion, Estella finds herself drawn into the bohemian world of the models, leading to complex dynamics between them.
