Paula

Carla Juri (Wetlands) is early twentieth-century German artist Paula Becker in this biopic from Christian Schwochow (Die Unsichtbare).

Painting is an unacceptable vocation for a woman in provincial Germany in the year 1900, but budding artist Paula Becker is determined to make her own rules. After marrying a local painter and spending five years having her spirit stifled by an imposed domestic role, Paula travels alone to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. There, she finally embarks on a journey of creative fulfilment and self-realisation.
