___________________________________________

Vienna, 1912. Behind every painting, there is a story...

A new century is dawning. Vienna is at its zenith, an opulent, extravagant city teeming with art, music and radical ideas. It is a place where anything seems possible...

Edith and Adele are sisters, the daughters of a wealthy bourgeois family. They are expected to follow the rules, to marry well, and produce children. Gertrude is in thrall to her flamboyant older brother. Marked by a traumatic childhood, she envies the freedom he so readily commands. Vally was born into poverty but is making her way in the world as a model for the eminent artist Gustav Klimt.

Fierce, passionate and determined, none of these women is quite what they seem. But their lives are set on a collision course when they become entangled with the controversial young artist Egon Schiele whose work - and private life - are sending shockwaves through Viennese society. All it will take is a single act of betrayal to set their world on fire...

___________________________________________

Every painting tells a story, but what if the women on the canvas could speak? This is the story of the charismatic - and controversial - artist, Egon Schiele, and his four muses, set against the vibrant backdrop of Vienna in the 1900s, a time when the city was the epicentre of art, music, and ideas.

ADELE: passionate, fierce, obstinate. The unconventional daughter of a wealthy family.
GERTRUDE: spirited, single-minded, possessive. Egon's younger sister who yearns for more.
VALLY: determined, independent, proud. Egon's model, carving her way out of poverty.
EDITH: Adele's sister. Quiet and conventional. Or was she?

Four women, four flames, all longing to be known. In an electrifying, bohemian city like Vienna, anything seems possible. But when they meet the man whose work is sending shockwaves through the establishment, their lives are set on a collision course. Because just as a flame has the power to mesmerize, it can also destroy everything in its path.
