Last times of Amedeo Modigliani's life are depicted in this biographic movie set in 1919 in Paris. This exciting and breathtaking story includes a unique spirit of an epoch when nightly Paris drowned in the fire of passions and dangerous pleasures watching the rivalry of two geniuses: Modigliani (Andy Garcia) and Picasso (Omid Djalili). These great painters had initially ignored the yearly art competitions, until the one in which the prize was the hearty money and a guaranteed career.
