Early 20th century. Arthur is a young man who is into photography, but hides this hobby from his friends. One day he sees a sad woman on the street, whose image remains in his memory. Having met her again, he asks her to pose for him for photographs, despite the fact that she is not young, not slim and does not look like the other models. Rita – that’s the stranger’s name – is not going through the best period in her life. She had to divorce her husband, which resulted in complete isolation and rejection from society. She blames her ugly appearance and weak character for everything, and therefore Arthur’s request seems very unusual to her. Arthur and Rita will have to complete a series of seven portraits in just over one year. During this time, they will understand and rethink a lot in their lives. At the end of this extraordinary journey, they will become completely different people and will find what they were missing.
