"You can't change destiny."
In 1919 Paris, the talk of the cafe society was Salone des Artiste, a competition for artists. Amedeo Modigliani (Andy Garcia) and Pablo Picasso (Omid Djalili) become enmeshed in their rivalry for the prize. Modigliani needs the money to rescue and raise the illegitimate child he fathered with Jeanne Hébuterne (Elsa Zylberstein), a young and beautiful Catholic girl. Her bigoted parents (Jim Baker, Michelle Newell) have sent the child away to be raised by nuns because Modigliani is a Jew.
Modigliani is intent on painting a masterpiece that will secure the prize.
Also appearing are Eva Herzigova as Picasso's wife Olga; Peter Capadli as Jean Cocteau; Dan Astileanu as Diego Rivera; Miriam Margolyes as Gertrude Stein; Ion Siminie as Claude Monet.
