Portrait of a Woman in Blue

Drama. Nadia (40), a Polish woman living in Paris, works for an NGO helping victims of human trafficking. She’s just learnt that her husband Philippe, a photojournalist, might have died in a bomb blast abroad. His death is not confirmed but he’s out of reach for most of the film. Nadia hears the news minutes before meeting a new client, Grace, an illegal immigrant from Africa. Soon a young Romanian, Ioana (25), shows up at her office, but instead of asking for legal advice announces that she has a child with Philippe – further complicating Nadia’s situation. Philippe’s silence, Ioana’s intrusion into her life and the difficult relationship with Grace turn Nadia’s world upside down and force her to reevaluate her life. An unexpected solace comes from an encounter with a Malian singer, Siti (35), who impresses Nadia with her beauty and perseverance. The two women make a connection that goes beyond spiritual. All of this prepares Nadia to make an important life decision.
