The Flames is the previously untold story of four real women, the 'muses' who inspired the charismatic but controversial artist, Egon Schiele. The four women are Adele, the spirited but slightly outrageous and untamed daughter of a good family, who, along with her quieter and more conventional sister, Edith, is scandalised when the notorious artist moves into an apartment opposite their home; Gertrude, Egon Schiele's fiery sister who is also a victim of their tempestuous childhood; Vally, a poor but strong-willed model discovered by Gustav Klimt;.
