‘Belle de Nuit. Grisélidis Réal Autoportraits - Marie-Eve de Grave’

Griselidis Realis a meteor. Her life is better than fiction. She was a prostitute in the brothels in Munich, flirting with black G.I.s. She sold marijuana. She went to jail. And in the 1970s she became The Revolutionary Hooker. As she wrote: “Prostitution is Art, it’s a Science and a Humanism as well”. She was consumed with passionate love – and so were her clients. Griselidis painted, drew and wrote about the life she was inventing for herself all the time. Through her eyes, everything became precious, passionate, fascinating, overwhelming and crazy. Griselidis is rebellion. The wild woman who goes through the night screaming, dressed up, made up, sublime.

The film dives in her writings, to show the dazzling life of an extraordinary woman. Fictional images, inspired by her texts, drawings, excerpts, manuscripts, photographs, historical archives and interviews, all intertwine and eventually create the fragmented and plural portrait of a beautiful rebel who unveils a real writer.
