Searching for the reasons for her grandfather's depression among the paintings on the walls of his house, a young filmmaker discovers the parallel that unites them both: each works on a portrait. The young filmmaker, faithful to her craft, turns a painting that obsesses her into a tableau vivant: it is her own way of painting. There is another painting that bewitches her: it is the last one her grandfather painted, and it remained unfinished. Using her brushes, she now wants to finish what her grandfather left unfinished.
