The muse and the girl

13,99 22,00

A phenomenal debut and a sensual ode to the human body!
Mila desires the absolute. The eternal. She seeks a way to never be forgotten. As a young girl, she stands face to face with a voluptuous Venus in a museum. She promptly decides to become an artist's muse. She entrusts herself to the creative thoughts of another, and to the hands of fate.
She poses naked for hours for art students, who look but do not see her. They observe. Before them lies not a young woman, but an assignment. A fruit bowl for advanced students. Until a painter elevates her from anonymity. The two fall in love. With each other, and with the image they cherish of each other.
But how do you really expose yourself? How do you relate to the other and to your own story? While Mila tries in vain to force her body and soul into the right shape, she understands that her meaning lies in her own hands. She will have to transform from passive object to subject.
