Set in the early 2000s, the film — set to be released in the United Kingdom this coming May — focuses on the relationship that develops over the months during which Moss, while pregnant, sits for the artist. What begins as a collaboration evolves into an intense process, shaped by Freud’s extreme discipline and a dynamic that moves between the professional and the personal.

The result of those sessions was Naked Portrait (2002), a work that, despite the tensions surrounding it, ultimately secured its place within the art world, reaching multimillion figures at Christie's.

Beyond the portrait itself, the film offers a reflection on the body, control, and the gaze — and on how art can transform an encounter into something far more complex.
