___________________________________________ 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 at the epicentre of art music and ideas. ADELE: passionate fierce
obstinate. The unconventional daughter of a wealthy bourgeois family. GERTRUDE: spirited
single-minded possessive. Egon's younger sister who yearns for a life of her own. VALLY:
determined independent proud. Egon's model who has carved 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. _______________________________ 'Impressive' The Times 'A stunning
