Restoration France, 1818. What begins as a simple job of art conservation brings Madame Anne Dulac, newly returned from exile, together with Jean Howlitz, a former painter with a complicated past, and Roderick Calley, the quick-witted man charged with managing her affairs.

As the restoration unfolds, all three find themselves reckoning with the past and with the new world they have somehow managed to survive.

Funny, moving, and constantly surprising, Nicky Glossman’s Portrait of a Woman in Repose is a tour-de-force for three veteran actors about art, memory, survival, and what it means to restore what has been lost.
