Overview

When Danish filmmaker Lea Glob first portrayed Apolonia Sokol in 2009, she appeared to be leading a storybook life. The talented Apolonia was born in an underground theater in Paris and grew up in an artists’ community—the ultimate bohemian existence. In her 20s, she studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, one of the most prestigious art academies in Europe. Over the years, Lea Glob kept returning to film the charismatic Apolonia and a special bond developed between the two young women.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deeply personal portrait of an artist shot over 14 years, tracing the gap between bohemian promise and the messy reality of creative ambition. It's a meditation on friendship, artistic struggle, and how lives rarely unfold as storybooks suggest.
