Details: 1915. On the Côte d'Azur. At the twilight of his life, Auguste Renoir was tested by the loss of his wife, the pain of old age, and the bad news from the front: his son Jean was wounded... But a young girl, Andrée, appeared in his life like a miracle, will infuse the old man with an energy he no longer expected. Bursting with vitality, radiant with beauty, Andrée would be the painter's last model, his source of youth. When Jean, who has returned wounded from the war, comes to convalesce in the family home, he in turn discovers, fascinated, the one who has become the red star of the Renoir galaxy. And in this Mediterranean Eden, Jean, despite the grumbling opposition of the old painter, will love the one who, driven by a disorderly, elusive will, will make him, a weak and wobbly young officer, an apprentice filmmaker... Set on the French Riviera in the summer of 1915, this lushly atmospheric drama tells the story of celebrated Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his son Jean, who returns home to convalesce after being wounded in World War I. When Andrée, a free- spirited, beautiful young red-head enters their lives, they are both smitten. The elder Renoir, in declining health at age 74 and tormented by the loss of his wife, is filled with a new, entirely unexpected energy as Andrée becomes his last muse and the wellspring of a remarkable rejuvenation. In the face of his father's fierce opposition, Jean too falls under Andrée's spell, and his transformation from a battle-weary son to a budding filmmaker, begins.
