The film features numerous historical figures, including Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, photographer Félix Nadar, and writer Victor Hugo, and is enriched by depictions of masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée de l'Orangerie.
Starring Suzanne Landon and Abram de Valpre, the film is a profound exploration of family and life triggered by a single painting, arriving ahead of the 100th anniversary of Monet's death in 2026.
