The Côte d'Azur. 1915. In his twilight years, Pierre-Auguste Renoir is suffering from the loss of the aches of old age his spouse and the news which his son Jean continues to be wounded in action. But when a new girl enters his universe, the older woman is full of a energy. Blazing with life Andrée will become his final version, and the well spring of a rejuvenation that is remarkable. Back to convalesce, Jean too falls under the charm of this new superstar inside the Renoir firmament. Inside their Mediterranean Eden - and at the face of his daddy's fierce opposition - he falls in love with this wild, untameable spirit... and since he does so, within weak-willed,'' battle-shaken Jean, a filmmaker begins to cultivate.
