The Life of Suzanne Valadon. Paris at the turn of the century: The world of Montmartre unfolds, a world of legendary artists' bars, cabarets, dance halls and brothels. In the middle of it all is Marie-Clémentine Valadon, a painter's model by profession, who secretly draws and one day turns the tables on her. She calls herself Suzanne Valadon and, as a painter, devotes herself intensively to the female and male nude, a terrain that is taboo for women. She shapes her life's path just as independently of public opinion. The highlight of this scandal-ridden life is the studio community of the "trinité maudite": Suzanne's son Maurice Utrillo, a well-known drunkard and exhibitionist; André Utter, her husband, who is two years younger than her son - and the painter herself. Suzanne Valadon remains true to her will for freedom and her art throughout her life.
