"Based on a true story, Seraphine delves into the relationship between naive painter Seraphine Louis (1864–1942) and art collector Wilhelm Uhde. In a little town north of Paris, Seraphine works as a maid for Madame Duphot, who rents an apartment to German art critic and dealer Wilhelm Uhde, an enthusiastic advocate of modern and primitive artists. In her spare time, Seraphine paints, with anything she can find – wine, mud, a mixture of fruits and flowers. When Wilhelm comes across one of her paintings, he is instantly mesmerized and insists that Seraphine show him the rest of her work. So begins a nurturing relationship that will expose Seraphine's work to the world. But as Seraphine paints her most inspired canvas, the power of her work leads her into the realms of madness." - TIFFG
