The great painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir is in his twilight years, tormented by the loss of his wife and the news that his son Jean has been wounded in WW1. When a young girl enters his idyllic Mediterranean world, Pierre-Auguste rejuvenates and becomes newly inspired by her beauty and spirit. But when Jean returns home to convalesce - and in the face of his father's fierce opposition - he falls in love with the muse, and within the battle-shaken Jean, a filmmaker begins to grow. Actors Michel Bouquet, Christa Theret, Vincent Rottiers, Thomas Doret, Romane Bohringer & Michèle Gleizer Director Gilles Bourdos Certificate 12 years and over Year 2012 Languages French Subtitles English

A flame-haired teenager captivates the lives of the famous painter and his young son, in director Gilles Bourdos's visually evocative drama. After arriving at the house of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Michel Bouquet) in the summer of 1915, vibrant and ambitious 15-year-old redhead Andrée Heuschling (Christa Theret), soon becomes a muse to the aged and arthritic painter, inspiring a new lease of life in his twilight years. But the realities of the First World War intrude on the idyllic Cote d'Azur setting with the sudden arrival home of Renoir's son Jean (Vincent Rottiers), an officer in the French army, to convalesce after being wounded in action. As the complex relationship between father and son gradually unfolds, an aimless Jean soon finds himself falling helplessly under Andrée's spell.
