STORY IS SET IN LONDON, 1851
Iris (Esme Creed Miles) paints dolls for a living,
alongside her twin sister, Rose (Mirren Mack), but dreams of becoming an
artist. By night, she secretly paints herself naked, honing her craft.
Silas (Eanna Hardwicke 
whom we watched earlier this summer in The Six Commandment series) is a taxidermist who owns a shop filled with his
creations. He hopes to one day
find an item so unique he will be
catapulted to fame. Louis (George Webster) is a painter and member of
the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, 
searching for his next muse. In a city
humming with anticipation for the Great Exhibition, their three worlds
collide, and Iris is offered an opportunity to
escape and start a new
life.
To do so, she must abandon her sister, sacrifice her reputation, and
launch herself into the unknown. As Iris’ world expands, she
finds
herself challenging patriarchal beliefs, exploring her sexuality, and
starting to experience the things she has always dreamed of. But
alongside her 
newfound independence, a story of dark obsession begins to
unfold. Pippa Haywood, Sharlene Whyte, Reece Kenwyne-Mpudzi, Freddy
Carter, 
Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Laurie Kynaston, Jim Caesar, Akshay
Khanna, Aysha Kala and Nell Hudson also star. Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think:

Never knew that doll painting is a career...is she an artist or simply a doll maker (this sounds creepy though because it reminds me of psycho thriller Doll Maker I read a while ago).
ReplyDeleteDolls were a huge thing in Victorian age, they also made furniture and houses for them extremely lavishly, and they also had elaborate paper dolls sold in newspapers each week, not just ladies but also soldiers, kings and queens, animals, whole families and homes, it was a passtime for kids back then when they did not have toys.
DeleteI love watching current artists strip Barbie and paint her into a new creation. Hexitan is a favorite of mine. Looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few of those on Facebook. There is also a designer who designs custom made barbies with heute couture limited collection gowns like for real ladies.
DeletePeople with that kind of talent blow my mind!
DeleteIt is insane and also expensive.
