Movie description:
Monet passes the time painting with Renoir until his father cuts his allowance. He finds consolation in a young aspiring artist friend named Daniel, who teaches him to see the importance of family. The two artists support each other in this look at the life of the great Impressionist.
This historical drama tells the story of Claude Monet in 1869 at the very beginning of the Impressionist movement. In a small town on the banks of the Seine outside Paris, Monet is experimenting with his revolutionary new painting style. He is passionate about color, light and nature he and his friend Pierre-Auguste Renoir spend days on end perfecting their canvasses that are shimmering reflections of the local landscapes. Monet has little success selling his works, but he remains an optimist. He is also proud, and extremely committed to his art; so much so that his rich father cuts him off from his only source of income, a family allowance. Luckily, Monet has a friend in aspiring young artist Daniel, who is the son of his landlady. Daniel also has mixed feelings about his father, who he believes has run off to Avignon to paint. Monet gradually becomes both a mentor and father-figure in the boy’s life, as Daniel even skips school to accompany Monet on his painting excursions. This greatly dismays the boy’s mother who has just evicted Monet from the inn with great fanfare. But when Daniel finally learns the truth – that his father has abandoned him – Monet is the only one who can reach through to him. Though they both feel like giving up, together they see through these difficult times; in doing so they teach each other the importance of holding on to goals and dreams.
