A biopic of the experiences of actress Maria Schneider as she filmed Last Tango in Paris.

As an aspiring young actress, Maria Schneider seemingly could not have asked for a better opportunity: co-starring alongside the legendary Marlon Brando in the highly anticipated Last Tango in Paris. But the experience proved scarring: Schneider never entirely recovered from what she felt was a violation of her by both Brando and director Bernardo Bertolucci. Drawing inspiration from Vanessa Schneider’s book about her cousin, Being Maria observes the star before, during and after she made Last Tango.
